Deleyaman ‎"00/1" CD

"Deleyaman claim The Stranglers, Joy Division, Magazine and Wire among their influences, not that you'll hear any of that on this remarkable debut. Instead, there is a rich spirituality inspired by Armenian mystical chants, and the baroque stylings of Handel and Bach; none of which sounds very appealing on paper. In the flesh though, it‚s like entering a time warp and emerging at a time when true alternative music was being shaped in the hands of Transglobal Underground, Dead Can Dance and Cocteau Twins. As a result "00/1"‚ refines a template imbuing it with a depth and beauty matched only by recent efforts from Natacha Atlas. Not that they limit themselves to purely Eastern stylings; Almast‚ adds a rich layer of pastoral folk in The Wicker Man tradition ˆ bringing the welcome memory of Britt Ekland dancing naked in her bedroom. Irresistible." -Michael Ornadet, LOGO Magazine U.K.
