With sparse, ³ crystalline production by Bob Haddad, the album focuses on ³ the healing powers of Moroccan music, which if often used in ³ rituals to produce a magical, trance-like state in the ³ participants. On most of the songs, Hakmoun's rumbling ³ sintir— a three-string bass lute with limited range but a ³ remarkably diverse sound in skilled hands like these-drives ³ the beat forwardwith intricate rhythmic syncopation, as his ³ impassioned vocals elevate the listener's consciousness to a ³ more heavenly plane.
