SONG DESCRIPTION:
"In this album I somehow inclined to
jazz fusion and classic instrumentation. I think the eastern �blend�
still dominates e.g. in �Ustuqus-al-Uss-al-Avvalin-val-Akharin�
which I think is the most progressive tune I have ever made (The
second catchy guitar solo is performed by Pouyan). Some songs are
extremely personal e.g. �Naught been I thou� which is a off-beat
jazzy with unusual dance elements� These songs are my utmost fears
and hopes - to a degree that made me mute from communicating by
words. And thus they become instrumental sounds�"

"a poem in music consisting of 9 strophes"
"Salim Ghazi Saeedi is simply, in my view, the nimblest and most inventive speed
freak guitarist of our times, and by far."
