Clones False Prophets

VINYL FORMAT. ROIR's second release from Raz Mesinai (aka Badawi, aka Bedouin) who is also one half of the Instinct and Asphodel band, Sub Dub. An Israeli born in Palestine, Raz is a master percussionist in the Middle Eastern tradition and a leading influence on the NYC "illbient" school of underground trip hop dubbers, along with DJ Spooky, WordSound I Powa, DJ Olive, Loop Lucy and Soulslinger.

"It is apparent just how integral Badawi is to New York's illbient scene - swinging the dub pendulum from dark and disturbing to tongue-in-cheek zaniness. He teases and mystifies us in the same spirit of Lee 'Scratch' Perry." - Urb
