Razen is a Belgian group playing a mix of Middle-East/Central-Asian folk music with drone/ambient and experimental electronics. No, they don't have any new age shit, nor are they part of the ethereal ambient scene. Their music is dark and ecstatic, devotional and psychedelic. On this tape they employ heavily tabla, reed instruments and a droning instrument that sounds either like the sarangi or Indian harmonium. Highly recommended. 2014 tape on House Of Alchemy.

Thank you! Looking forward to this, I've never heard of Razen but your description sold me indeed. Your blog needless to say is a gem.
