Junun Limited Yellow & Orange Marble Vinyl 2LP Set

Shye Ben-Tzur & Jonny Greenwood & The Rajasthan Express Junun Limited Gatefold Yellow & Orange Marble Vinyl 2LP Set

Overview:

'Junun' is the debut collaborative album by composer Shye Ben Tzur, Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood, and the Indian ensemble the Rajasthan Express. Originally released in November 2015, the album was recorded in a makeshift studio within the 15th-century Mehrangarh Fort in Jodhpur, India. The album features Ben Tzur's compositions, which incorporate devotional Sufi qawwal musicians singing in Urdu and Hebrew. Greenwood contributed guitar, bass, keyboards, ondes Martenot, and programming, aiming to use chords sparingly and instead focusing on North Indian ragas. The recording process sought to capture the 'roughness' of Indian music, avoiding the high fidelity often found in world music recordings.
