Take a ride on Tehran's runaway train of 6/8 tombak beats & loping triple meter polyrhythms. Nightclub disco imported from the West & folk songs borrowed from Turkey get mixed up with the gorgeous Dastgah melodies of Persia. It all happened as part of the top-down, Shah-sponsored warmup to the West, spawning a sudden avalanche of cheap singles & cardboard movie stars until the Iranian Revolution came along in '78 & decided that everybody should pretend to be religious instead. Tracklisting: Zia-Helelyos, Mohammad Nouri-Biya Bar E Safar Bandim, Mehrpouya-Soul Raga, Googoosh-Talagh, Kourosh Yaghmale-Gol E Yakh, Parva-Mosem E Gol, Noosh Afarin-Gol E Aftab Gardoon, Soli-Miravi, Marjan-Kavir E Del, Sima Bina-Naz Kardanet Vaveyla, Soli-Negar, Googoosh-Bemoun Ta Bemounam, Zia-Kofriam, Ramesh-Sharm E Boos E, Dariush-Cheshm E Man, Googoosh-Gol Bi Goldoon.
