Hamlet Minassian - Al Elnim (Frolov Edit)

From the album 'Armenian Pop Music'
[The 800 Line series, by Chicago-based reissue label Numero Group]

Original by Armenian musician Hamlet Minassian
Fresh edit by Ukrainian multiculti artist (Ilya) Frolov!

"A winsome and dizzying spin on disco pop, recorded in westernized Iran during the last moments before the 1979 revolution. All but criminalized in the wake of Ayatollah Khomeini's theocratic repression, Hamlet Minassian's solo masterpiece is a testament to the Middle East's forgotten dance music culture. The six-song, 44-minute LP hybridizes Euro attitude and Armenian traditional songs to create long, hypnotic proto-house, seemingly beamed in from another dimension.

The young Armenian musician Hamlet Minassian was born in Tabriz (North-Western Iran) in 1940. After graduating from the music school of his native city, he attended advanced courses at the Teheran Conservatoire followed by musical research work in Europe and the United States. His career began with composing chanson type songs. He then moved into the film industry where he rapidly built up a reputation as the composer of a number of popular themes. Hamlet Minassian has also produced original vocal and orchestral arrangements of Armenian folk tunes and has composed a number of romances and the ballet."


"The music Frolov shares is full of variety and contrasts. It echoes such a different and such a beautiful richness of the world - the irresistible energy of the tsunami, the fun of a gypsy wedding, the endless calmness of the ocean vibe, the trampling of horses of a ten-thousandth army of horsemen and millions of sparks of a fire flying somewhere high. A riot of colors, an abundance of emotions, a collection of pure states - all this is about Ilya's work - as irresistible, multifaced and impulsive as his music."
