Abdul Razak & Rafiq The Night of Power (Lailatulkadur) [Paper jacket] Japan Musi

Product Description
Content Introduction: World's first CD reissue, limited first edition paper jacket packaging. 80s electric jazz where mystical poetry readings intertwine with inorganic drum machines! This extremely rare record, which deep collectors have long sought after but been unable to find due to its extremely limited pressing, is miraculously revived with a CD reissue! Recorded in 1982 during Ramadan at Dennis Matthews' (credited as Abdur Razzaq) home studio, this album was known as a rare record that deep collectors had long sought after due to its extremely limited pressing, but after 40 years, the long-awaited reissue has finally become a reality! Rafiyq's spiritual and message-driven poetry readings intertwine with the inorganic beats of the Roland CR-78 and the mellow leads of the Fender Rhodes and Minimoog, creating an unclassifiable sound reminiscent of the rapidly evolving electric jazz of the 80s and hip-hop unfolding over rhythm machine loops. Following the intense, epic 30-minute track "The Night of Power" (M1), the instrumental piece "Reflections From The Grave" (M2) is another obscure masterpiece that transcends time and space! Following the LP reissue, which includes remastering from the original master tapes and liner notes by Dennis Matthews himself, this CD version is also being reissued for the first time in the world!
