5.0 out of 5 stars
Great 70s orchestrated POP beat from Iran, December 20, 2005
This review is from: Khoda Koneh Beyaee (Audio CD)
Aref was the most famous Iranian male POP singer from before the time of the ayatollahs. The music in this collection is modern beat oriented POP with great and grandeous string sections and orchestration. Luxurious recordings from the 1970s.
The songs are sprinkled with touches of iranian instrumentation and traditions, but in general are great western style pop beat music. Absolutely recommended. The other reason I recommend this CD is that unlike many of the iranian CD re-edition of old material, it seams that this Aref CD was made from the masters and sounds great, allowing you to appreciate the luxurious original recording. Wish the album had a nice booklet, which it doesnt. I also wish they would release the resto of his 70s material on CD.
