Frans Keylard showcased this Iranian artist's talents on his Rogues Gallery show, and I was pretty impressed with what I heard. If pushed I would suggest this falls under the progressive metal sub-genre.  Some blistering, very fresh sounding guitar work on this album. Some quotes: "Agah Bahari is writing cutting edge instrumental progressive rock. His guitar playing is very impressive as well." Derek Sherinian. "Agah is a great up and coming writer and guitarist who has a really fresh sounding approach that is really welcomed by me." Ric Fierabracci. "There is many progressive rockers in Iran that are very technical, but Agah is a young musician that plays with passion and out of love for the music. His music is pure modern prog/rock without any national and cultural limitations." ZirZamin.se Another one for the long list of new bands / artists to consider. -------------  Open the gates of the city wide.... Check out my music taste: http://www.last.fm/user/TakeshiKovacs/ |

I do have to add that in the meantime Agah Bahari's album "Second Sight of a Mind" has now been released on Unicorn Digital - http://www.unicorndigital.com/store.html - http://www.unicorndigital.com/store.html
... and it is also available on iTunes, so the availability issue has been sorted!

I agree, it's a good album that should've been added to the site a long time ago. It's more or less Agah with Planet X as a backing band, so every Sherinian and Donati fan should at least give this album a chance! ------------- "Freedom in the 21st Century means being incommunicado." http://www.relocator-project.com" rel="nofollow">
