Album Notes

Reconstruction and mix translation of Sussan's masterwork "Madman Of God" by the legendary musical pioneer, Bill Laswell.

"Shy Angels" is Bill Laswell's reinterpretation of the entire "Madman of God" album, in which Sussan Deyhim presents her uniquely personal reading of divine love poems by Rumi, Saadi and other Persian Sufi masters.

Bill Lashell has taken Sussan Heyhim's brilliant Madman of God album, pushed the finally crafted traditional instrumentation down in the mix, and slapped on top a naff disco drum beat with no sensitivity to the rhythmical comlpexities of the original music and singing.
