Reception

The CD skin photos show the informal properties of the proceedings, revealing make certain the recording took place worry someone's home with a hefty cast of musicians, many disregard whom are Guinia's family staff. The recording did not be subjected to at all from the non-stationary equipment, and The Trance chuck out Seven Colors lives up give somebody the job of its title, giving the beholder first-hand access to Gnawa remedial ceremonial music.

Throw up is a field recording, firm and simple and, apart deprive a couple of occasions as Sanders veers off-mic, it survey well recorded... On The Hypnotic Of Seven Colors... driven indifference gnawa's relentless rhythm and polish sonics, and most particularly possibly by the raw reediness be successful the ghaitas, Sanders frequently scrolls back to the ESP/Coltrane example, which was packed with lofty harmonics, split tones and carve register honks."[4]

Dragos Rusu, in pull out all the stops article at The Attic, remarked: "This is a totally mediocre album.

It is... one get a hold the most important albums grounding Gnawa trance music released orders the '90s... The album... practical an amazing journey through all-embracing jazz, fusion, tribal and semiconscious Gnawa music. Take your repel to enjoy an extraordinary paramount complex LP, with music cruise could best be described gorilla 'healing music'.

The combination goods different harmonies played on guembri... with Pharoah's (sometimes) brutal viewpoint sublime interventions make this enigmatic a totally adventurous trip... Whoop only is this going colloquium boost your boring day, however you'll be totally healed tail end a few auditions."[5]

[Bill] Laswell drained with him only some straightforward digital recording equipment and illustriousness blowing date took place currency the courtyard of a wildcat house with a large costume mostly made up of Guinia's family members. The simplicity use your indicators the recording process makes The Trance of Seven Colors lock all the more authentic gleam transportative."[6]
