ArtMusic.com - Mehran Unleashes The Angels Of Persepolis

Reviews

Americal Culture - "...On Angels of Persepolis Mehran
integrates not only flamenco but also classical guitar
and ethnic interpretations from his Persian heritage
into the compositions"

Sea of Tranquility - "...Angels of Persepolis is an instrumental
concept album that mixes ancient Persian history, Persian
mythology and Iran's current affairs into a highly enjoyable platter
of exotic sounds and musical virtuosity..."

Music World Express 3000 - Review and interview...
"After hearing the depth and heartfelt emotions running
throughout Mehran’s instrumental masterpiece you get
the feeling that there’s so much more going on in Iran
then what meets the ear".

After Glow - "Spelen kan Mehran als geen ander, het Rosenberg
Trio zou met gemak een kwartet met hem kunnen worden, en hij
weet zelfs wat bescheiden progressieve accenten te verwerken in
zijn composities zoals in opener 'Pa- sargad'

Ear Candy Mag - "...I have absolutely nothing to compare it to.
I mean, it doesn’t sound like anything I own. It doesn’t sound like
Zappa, Chet Atkins or even Al Di Meola..."

Music Street Journal - "I guess the best description for this
would be “world music.” It combines flamenco guitar sounds with
other styles into a tapestry that is compelling and beautiful.
There is jazz and classical here, but there is also space rock
at times. The music never becomes redundant, despite the
fact that is an instrumental album (other than some spoken
vocals on the last track and incidental sound bites here and there).
It is an intriguing disc that I like a lot. Gary Hill
