i return with a century of moonlight!

howdy.

i'm back. here's some Ilyas Ahmed for you all to consume. i like this album a lot, it's spacey and spacious and fucking brilliant. when he meanders on some sort of formless wave of free-drone noise it helps to drift along with him and find yourself somewhere else, where ever the notes take you. when he's playing that spectral guitar and howling it's truly ethereal. this is the brightest of Ilyas' releases i've heard, but not bright like cheery, like least smokey sounding and open. it's more sundrenched, but washed out. lovely album, really. i truly hope he sticks around for a while and makes more incredible recordings like this.

running towards a night between two skies

Ilyas fucking Ahmed. incredible. folk music that is wispy, vaporous, layered, and incredibly emotional. this is the sound of loneliness, of an empty room, of hearts fading.

here we've got his first two cdrs (Towards The Night and Between Two Skies) that he self released in a criminally limited quantity of 50 copies each. thankfully, the kind folks at Digitalis recently reissued these cds as part of their arts and crafts editions. the songs are breathtaking, with Ilyas' mostly wordless vocals evoking better images than most singers can with volumes of poetry, and his eastern influenced fingerpicked guitar seems to weep. David Keenan described this music as "gone." i couldn't agree with that sentiment more.

these albums are phenominal and definitely worth checking out and purchasing. (here's the link: http://www.digitalisindustries.com/ace003.html )

i'm only going to leave these up for a short time since this is definitely still in print, so download, love, and order away please.
