"1970's Algerian Folk and Pop tries to capture the breadth of sounds emerging in Algeria, and it succeeds nicely. But there's also a tension that rides throughout these songs, as they gained popularity even as they pushed back against the powers that were in socialist Algeria. There's both verve and resistance in opener "Habit En Ich", by brother duo Rachid & Feti. It starts with seemingly traditional sitar and nylon-stringed guitars, but then the song bursts to life with churning drums and backing vocals and just a hint of the electric elements they pioneered in pop music in the country. It's a good place to start for a compilation that takes us through the shambling psychedelic roll of Freedom (Houriya)`s "Abadane" to the bluesy organ skronk of Kri Kri's "Wahdi" to the lean surf funk of Abranis's "Chenagh la Blues"".

"This well-researched compilation brings together a range of styles and artists to shed a light on the vibrant music scene of 1970s Algeria. Across twelve tracks we are treated to everything from haunting folk duets to eastern-influenced rock riffs that remind of Led Zeppelin. Highlights include Rachid and Fethi's Habit En Ich, a psychedelic rollercoaster driven by FX-heavy guitars and rhythm, which is incredibly well-produced and an insight into the diversity of 1970s Algerian music ... Elsewhere Les Djinns call upon rhythms that might be familiar to Tuareg rock and somehow combine them with Can-like riffs ... Interesting and sometimes stirring listening".
