Entity/Paradigm - Irtiqa - Concept Album

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I'm a big big fan of progressive rock, and I love listening to 70's albums, including progressive rock from my own country, India. BUT, this progressive concept album from PAKISTAN (WTF) blew me away! REALLY AMAZING STUFF!                                                                                                                                                              

Came out in 2003

The first half of the album is pretty sh*te, but the second half is unbelievably brilliant :| 

Especially the last track. It's got a pretty incredible video too. It's sad albums like these get no exposure =[

01 Irtiqa I - Very good
02 Hamein Aazma - sh*te
03 Kahan Hai Tu - sh*te
04 Hamesha - decent
05 Waqt - Amazing
06 Agosh - WOW
07 Irtiqa II - meh
08 Rahguzar - ONE OF THE FINEST SONGS I'VE HEARD, EVER 
09 Fitrat - Great
10 Barzakh - BRILLIANT
11 Irtiqa III - ZOMG JIZZ IN PANTS BRILLIANT

Download from here: http://www.muzikeye.com/2010/03/ep-irtiqa-2003-mp3-vbr-320kbps-muzikeye.html

The video for Irtiqa III 

Would love your views on it, as waaay back it was my gateway into progressive rock.

	Oh, and if that D/L link is illegal, I'd ask you to please remove it from your post for the sake of the site.

	Are there any more samples you can provide? That one (low quality) video makes a genre determination pretty difficult.

	amazing song that Rahguzar, nice sections, first the exotic section and then the heavy rock section, like some Porcupine tree would have done, only this is more atmospheric and rawer, listning to Agosh now, cool intro, maybe they should be in symphonic prog idunno

	@aginor, Rahguzar has been on my iPod playlist for 6 years now. o.o It really is an incredible song, that.

	After the band is passed and added to the site, the option of reviewing is open. I'm sure I'll put out a review once they're on the site officially. Edited by andyman1125 - May 07 2011 at 14:03

	The band has to be added first in order to be reviewed. The addition process is taking time, because there are tens and tens of other suggestions under evaluation all the time. Be patient.
