About: Munma return to the studio in 2007 to deliver the 2nd volume of what is rumored to be a trilogy, whose themes hover around the Lebanese-Israeli war of July 2006. The band's familiar layers of synthesized sounds are augmented with a formidable array of processed bleeps and glitches, excerpts from radio speeches and political discourses, as well as expertly diverted samples of traditional Arabic instruments. The only live electronics band of its kind in Lebanon has managed to deliver yet another haunting masterpiece, a record that seems to defy any possible categorization and labeling, posed somewhere between ambient soundscapes, moody electronica, and weary world music. (Reviewed by Ziad Nawfal)

Do you guys know what’s more beautiful than your hard efforts trying to bring all this underground music for us people outside of lebanon who can’t, or wouldn’t even dream about getting?
It’s these reliable reviews.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’ve been looking for 60% of these artists with no luck and just like that, I came across this small, yet marvelous blog with everything I was looking for ib the past couple of months. Thank you, again.
Thank you Sam,
We appreciate the kind words :)
