"A kaleidoscopic voyage through a crackhouse wonderland ... those without rhythm need not apply." - ETHNOTECHNO "Ritual of Carousel is both gritty and sublime, conjuring the dusty alleyways just outside the incense's reach." - SF WEEKLY "[Ritual of Carousel] was undoubtedly the most under-distributed breakthrough album of 2003. It may take the world a few years to catch up, but when they do, everyone will be in for quite a shock." - GLOBAL RHYTHM The latest project from Professor Shehab (a.k.a. Sassan Ghahri) and Alan Kushan, Tales of the Red Dawn continues to push the boundaries of electronic world music, building on the worldwide critical acclaim garnered by Samsara Sound System's first release, Ritual of Carousel.
