ALVARIUS B. - Malarial Dream

"Alan Bishop 's solo persona appears again from his now 15-year-old home of Cairo where it was recorded in and around many other projects over the past few years. And unlike his more recent singer/songwriter material, Malarial Dream drifts closer to latter day Sun City Girls ( Mister Lonely / Funeral Mariachi ) amidst a melodic Middle Eastern and beyond psych-warped folk setting. Mostly instrumental and, except for two obscure covers, original compositions that feature a cast of extraordinary players: Adham Zidan , Aya Hemeda , Cherif El Masri , and Morgan Mikkelsen ( The Invisible Hands ), Maurice Louca and Sam Shalabi ( The Dwarfs of East Agouza ), Amelie Legrand , Asher Gamedze , Eyvind Kang , Hana Al Bayaty , Huda Asfour , and Sammy Sayed . LP Limited to 500 copies. Produced by Alvarius B. and Adham Zidan."
