Monogamy, by Land of Kush's Egyptian Light Orchestra

7 track album

Land of Kush

Ended the weekend and welcomed the bank holiday Monday with The Trial of St. Orange the second album by the Montreal-based collective, Shalabi Effect.

David M. Pecoraro wrote in a contemporary review for Pitchfork

"...A primal feel is established from the disc's opening moments. An acoustic guitar is plucked as faint percussion falls like raindrops over ubiquitous natural field recordings-- bird songs, forest sounds, etc.-- placed at far intervals. Periodic gong soundings emerge. At first, the metal is allowed to resonate in a mostly empty space, but soon the field recordings grow far less distant.."

Shalabi Effect - Sundog Ash (Studio Version)

Shalabi Effect is the eponymous debut album by Shalabi Effect. The album cover is taken from the famous Eagle Nebula Pillars of Creation photo made by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. The album began with the song "Aural Florida", which was originally going to be on a split release with Godspeed You! Black Emperor; when that release was abandoned, the rest of the album was created.

The Shalabi Effect (1998), by Shalabi Effect

2 track album

Shalabi Effect
Shalabi Effect's collaboration with Deirdre Smith, "On the Bowery", is an old favourite track I hadn't revisited in a while but it holds up. The video for it is a treat.
