Dr. Atmo & Ramin - Sad World 2.nfo
GENERAL INFORMATION
=====================
Album: Sad World 2
Artist: Dr. Atmo & Ramin (aka Amir Abadi & Ramin Naghachian)
Year: 1994
Genre: New Age / Electronic / Ambient / Experimental / Tribal
DESCRIPTION
==================
Great unsolved mysteries of our time - Volume 58. Why do people watch Eastenders (substitute dreary, depressing soap opera of your choice from your own country) why do women always take hours to get ready to go anywhere, and why has Sad World 2 failed to sell out its 1000 copy run in over 10 years?
Needless to say, the last of these is by far the most puzzling (as nifty lateral thinking means the first two can be explained to some degree, if not actually solved, by the simple maxim "people enjoy being miserable").
Given this information, the third question becomes more puzzling still. The 40-minute "Samarra" is a melancholy masterpiece, the intro samples (from where, anyone?) an American wittering on for ages to some presumable rather sad people about Jesus, seemingly in a scientific institution of some kind, the speech drifting in and out of the mix. The way it continues, never deviating from the set pattern too far, but the structure enough to provide a measure of variety, is extremely skilfully achieved. I often go to sleep to this (indeed I did last night), which of course is a high complement in Fax circles. :-)
The few times I make it to "Cordoba" I'm always pleased to be reminded of what a lovely piece it is too. The tribalesque percussion, the chanting kids, the soothing synths, lovely love lovely. In fact, I think I'll say it again. Lovely. :-)
As for solving the mystery, maybe no-one realises it's still available after all this time? Maybe people hear how good it is and assume it must have sold more than 2 copies a week over the last decade? I believe I'm right in saying it's the oldest Fax release yet to sell out....Maybe no-one else can hear what I hear in it? Hmmm, it's a strange (sad) world all right...
