Until very recently, it has been impossible
to get Amir Baghiri's early albums on CD. Indeed, it has been difficult to get them on
cassette or vinyl LP. Amir recorded and released them in his native Iran. And he did not
own the rights to the music. The company that owned the rights to the music has gone out
of business and the rights now belong to Amir. He is re-issuing all of his Iranian
releases in a five CDR set, due in April, 2002. His first album, Colours of the Caspian
Sea, is a surprise and a gem! listeners will not recognize this as coming from the Middle
East. It is lush and full of experimental overtones. Deep listeners will enjoy a tour of
the Caspian Sea and its surrounding topography. Much of his early musical influences come
from his older brothers, one of whom "tried (in vain) to follow in the footsteps of
Jimi Hendrix." Amir's father was also an accomplished musician, but Amir's primary
influence was from Western cultures. Of late, Amir has been stretching his limits and
coming into his own, musically. Deep listeners will hear the development of a new hybrid.
It is a hybrid of his older music (as heard here) and his early releases.
