Razen - Rim Saraband

Rim Saraband () album cover 

One of the most "acoustic" but highly droned-out recording of Razen, featuring immersive jams with Eastern wind and string instruments. Awesome. 2013 tape on Sloow Tapes.

Br’laab & Acid Boogie Quartet ‎– Contortionist tape


Extremely lysergic and depressive solo music project by Brecht Ameel of Razen/Het Interstedelijk Harmoniumverbond, mixing lute (played through delay and chorus!) and found sounds. Few recordings can sound as grey and lonely as this. 2019 tape on Sloow Tapes.

Razen ‎– The Xvoto Reels



Razen's weirdest album, this is their most electronic, with weird spacey sounds, old-school electronics and droney jams with Eastern instruments.

2017 LP on Three:four Records.

Razen ‎– Ayîk Adhîsta Adhîsta Ayîk LP


Their most mystical album from those I've heard, it's like a mix between Stephan Micus, avant-garde jazz and drone. Superb. 2019 LP on (K-RAA-K)³.

Razen - Remote Hologram LP

 

I love it how Razen mixes seemingly incompatible genres, with Middle/Central Eastern sounds always having a very prominent role, but here with an accentuated emphasis on drone, psychedelic electronics, atonal, classical and even a slightly Irish folk track ("Rust Constellation 11). 2014 2XLP on (K-RAA-K)³.

Razen - Rare Undressed Mare



Razen is a Belgian group playing a mix of Middle-East/Central-Asian folk music with drone/ambient and experimental electronics. No, they don't have any new age shit, nor are they part of the ethereal ambient scene. Their music is dark and ecstatic, devotional and psychedelic. On this tape they employ heavily tabla, reed instruments and a droning instrument that sounds either like the sarangi or Indian harmonium. Highly recommended. 2014 tape on House Of Alchemy.
