"Terrific but previously little-known Egyptian gem from 1979 resurfaces: This rediscovery is remarkable, but the impact of its reappearance is strengthened by what's heard. Orkos opens with its title track. There's a lot of percussion, but it's subtle. Backing vocals inject chants, and there are stabs of a groovy sounding organ. Maha dominates though. Bebel Gilberto comes to mind as a comparison - Maha used to sing "Girl From Ipanema" with the Cairo Jazz Band. Next up, the dreamy "Kabl Ma Nessallem We Nemshy" is built around a motif from a harpsichord-like instrument, cascading bells and what sounds like a Mellotron. Again, the focus is Maha's voice. As the album progresses, there are song-dramas nodding towards Dalida and steps into mysterious dream-like terrain. The possible Mellotron crops up again on "Ala Shat El Nesyn." "Law Laffeina El Ard" is aimed at the dance floor. Overall, Orkos is assured and fully formed. Arresting too".

"Cratediggers' delight - a truly "lost" album from 1970's Egypt that sounds terrific: Cairo hotel singer Maha [recorded] her debut album for the Sout El Hob label in 1979, but the story ended with no promotion and minimal sales, and she never recorded again. Forty-three years on, she appears anything but bitter about the experience, which is fortunate, because the seven tracks are quite remarkable, spanning big-band easy listening, Latin, jazz, string-driven funk, Mashriq disco (...) plus a huge voice, full of power and heartbreak".
