A true marriage of Western and (Middle) Eastern music with a fuzzed-out psychedelic edge. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReleased originally in 1969, Middle Eastern Rock is a unique, compelling fusion record from Armenian-American oud player John Berberian. The Rock East Ensemble, Beberian‚Äôs backing band, consists of the artist‚Äôs standard group, which specializes in traditional Armenian music with a jazz edge, and American session musicians who bring more of a rock sound. The results, which blend elements of psychedelia, free jazz, surf music, and various klezmer, African, and Middle Eastern textures, are dazzling, and are sure to thrill anyone with a taste for rare \"outside\" albums. ‚Äì AllMusic Review by Anthony Tognazzini\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Oud \u0026amp; The Fuzz \r Tranquility\r Chem-OO-Chem\r Iron Maiden \r  Flying Hye\r 3 \/ 8 + 5 \/ 8 = 8 \/ 8\r The Magic Ground\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: LP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"John and The Rock East Ensemble Berberian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43668023214278,"sku":"RIJGOI-8DX1-MJ","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/8085\/0374\/files\/john-and-the-rock-east-ensemble-berberian-middle-eastern-rock_VvPcx.jpg?v=1762276304","url":"https:\/\/paladinvinyl.com\/products\/john-and-the-rock-east-ensemble-berberian-middle-eastern-rock-vinyl","provider":"Paladin Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
