 Tamino is truly able to delve into the darkest unconscious recesses and evoke the most hidden tears, so denied by the conscious.

 How to define Tamino’s music? A Buckley father or son... baritone, king of sadness and melancholy that infects even reasonably pop songs.

Tamino's debut album Amir features a captivating melancholic baritone fused with Middle Eastern musical elements. The album delivers emotional depth, notable tracks like 'Habibi' and 'Persephone,' and skilled arrangements by an exiled Middle Eastern orchestra. While some falsetto moments feel stylistically limiting and the album occasionally relies on familiar pop structures, its emotional impact and unique blend set it apart. The review highlights Tamino's potential for deeper maturity in future works. Listen to Tamino’s Amir and explore the haunting fusion of melancholy and Middle Eastern sounds that captivates the soul.

 Dionysus is not an LP of songs but two long suites without interruption, symbolizing the sides of a vinyl.

 No longer as innovative as in their golden years, Dead Can Dance still express creative flashes that suit a soul adrift.

Dead Can Dance’s Dionysus emerges as a creative and original work inspired by Dionysian myths, structured as two uninterrupted suites. Brendan Perry’s renewed compositional energy shines, while Lisa Gerrard takes a more subdued backing role. The music evokes Middle Eastern and mystical atmospheres with hypnotic vocals, glossolalia, and exotic instrumentation. Though not as groundbreaking as earlier albums, Dionysus powerfully continues the band’s spiritual-darkwave tradition and invites immersive listening. Explore Dead Can Dance’s Dionysus for an immersive journey through mystical myths and hypnotic soundscapes.

 Now they also have a female singer with a velvety voice, Patty Esse, and a new drummer, a certain Ciccio Nicolamaria.
