The key to this place
Is a cold you know
The real dispelled
Into the world you know
Doubt, tasted, you fall in
Down you sink
Into her deep devour

She's still the key holder
And through this portal
She courts you now

Endowed with will
And a course your own
Bound by the despair
Of the shoreless hours
Heed this flame
Within the walled empire
This desire
Is all around

She's still the key holder
And through this portal
She courts you now

If love be revealed
In the spark of an eye
Could all be redeemed
In the sea of time
If the stars embed
Like nails into the ground
From the unheard prayers
That have torn up the skies
Would you will it all away
As you sail on your way?

Enya meets Loreena McKennitt
 
No .... Loreena and Enya come from the Celtic tradition

Azam Ali comes from the Persian tradition - very different

Loreena has incorporated plenty of Turkish influences in her music - she is VERY popular in Turkey

That's it!! Mike Oldfield.. and her voice reminds me of Ofra Haza. Nice blend, methinks.

I'm a big fan of Dead Can Dance, but I would say that DCD takes after this music, rather than vice versa. Azam Ali is Persian (click here), after all, and presumably was brought up with her own musical culture, whereas DCD reworked (ripped-off, if you're a critic) other musical forms. She's the original, Lisa Gerrard the copyist, for all that Gerrard copies and adapts really, really well. I love this sort of stuff, and big kudos to Bill and Becky for putting this and other Azam Ali numbers on RP. 8 from the Nottingham jury.

Sorry Bill, the Cracker song had me reaching for the volume knob. This one has me turning it ... not up, but off.

You are right, the charge of racism is unwarranted. That sublimely lame joke rests on assumptions about her cultural background and religion. So really, the comment was zenophobic, not racist. Relief.

How come Bill plays all this downbeat stuff right at the end of the workday when I'm already struggling to keep my eyes open? I know it's only 12:40p where you are Bill--but c'mon, we need something to wake up us East Coast drones!

Hung up? What negatives? Does someone here got have ill feelings towards music out of the middle east? If so, take a flying focking run at the door, thankyouverymuch. Music has nothing to do with politics. Or shouldn't. And I'm sure not hearing anything here. Leave politics out of the equation, thankyouverymuch.

This album is FANTASTIC! She has a wonderful haunting voice. Don't get hung up on the negatives of the Middle Eastern aspect of it.

AHHHH!!! What a debut! Azam Ali was born in Tehran, Iran and grew up in India from the age of four in the small town of Panchgani, a hill station in the state of Maharashtra. There she attended an international co-educational boarding school for eleven years, all the while absorbing India's music and culture throughout her formative years.
