On this 10-track anthology, Hive Mind plucks tracks from Édition Ahlem's recent catalogue; the label emerged in Oran from a record store and puts out cassettes since the early '90s. These selections are a little more contemporary and examine how the gasba forms have mutated and evolved in the last couple of decades, reacting to production changes while retaining the unique sound of the flute itself.\n\nThere's plenty to explore here, from the dimly lit distortions of Cheikh Tahar Oueld Marhoum's 'Naachak Fiha Ou Magoulhach' and Cheba Negouane's rai-adjacent 'Ychafouni Maghbounat' to Cheikh El Waal's woozy organ-led 'El Galb Maamar' and Mohamed Ain Larbaa's unexpectedly funky 'Sratli Khatra Kheleft L3ahed'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 350px; height: 472px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2155359696\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=333333\/artwork=none\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hivemindrecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/various-artists-my-heart-is-dust-before-him-21st-century-gasba-from-algeria\"\u003eVarious Artists - My Heart is Dust Before Him: 21st Century Gasba from Algeria Various Artists\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Hive Mind Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49676564365571,"sku":"HMRLP044","price":5099.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0285\/1694\/1956\/files\/a1264958752_10.jpg?v=1790075030","url":"https:\/\/meditations.jp\/en\/products\/v-a-my-heart-is-dust-before-him-21st-century-gasba-from-algeria-lp","provider":"Meditations","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
