{"product_id":"tigris-euphrates-cd","title":"Tigris \u0026 Euphrates","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 8.0pt;\"\u003eTwo years after their highly acclaimed debut \u003cem\u003eTanzlinde\u003c\/em\u003e, italian sound adventurers Sherpa return with \u003cem\u003eTigris \u0026amp; Euphrates\u003c\/em\u003e, showing just how far an album can be from another that comes from the same place. While \u003cem\u003eTanzlinde\u003c\/em\u003e thrived on short, melodically colorful tracks, \u003cem\u003eTigris \u0026amp; Euphrates\u003c\/em\u003e is a conceptual work. Dark, calm, sometimes menacing and as ambitious in its subject matter as its title. All six songs revolve around the evolution of human language through the ages and how communication has changed the relationships between people. For better or for worse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 8.0pt;\"\u003eFour of the six pieces stretch out over seven minutes and take all the time they need. Light and shadow alternate like in Renaissance chiaroscuro. Cardone's bass alone has the power to stun, while gentle guitar lines and soft vocal harmonies repeatedly brighten the gloom. The closer Descent Of Inanna To The Underworld compresses all of this into one final grand arc before the album fades out in long lingering sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 8.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eTigris \u0026amp; Euphrates\u003c\/em\u003e is Sherpa's most mature work to date. It is an album that barely reveals its strengths on the first listen but will catch you on the second and third.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 8.0pt;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 8.0pt;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eSherpa are\u003cbr\u003eMatteo Dossena – guitar, lyrics, composition\u003cbr\u003eFranz Cardone – bass\u003cbr\u003eAxel Di Lorenzo – guitar\u003cbr\u003eIvano Legnini – drums\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sherpa","offers":[{"title":"jewel case clear tray 4-page booklet","offer_id":57031598244218,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/7814\/8730\/files\/Sherpa-Tigris_Euphrates-Cover.webp?v=1779216082","url":"https:\/\/sulatron.com\/en\/products\/tigris-euphrates-cd","provider":"Sulatron Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
