Zartong, Armenia

Zartong - s/t. 1979 Dom. Recorded and released in France.

Musically similar to Asia Minor, though a bit more traditional and less symphonic. "Zartong" is a raucous fuzz filled party album, some of it dare I say is "danceable", with great indigenous melodies and some bonafide progressive rock moves as well. Mixes traditional Armenian instruments into a standard rock setting. Always very rare on LP, and would be nice to see on CD.

Priority: 2
