This band is a bit hard to describe but I'll give it a shot since I think they are quite amazing. Sebkha Chott are a large French ensemble that characterize their music as "Mekanik Metal Disco" and after listening through this new disc you can understand where they come from. A highly theatrical band they add a bit of irreverance and drama to their music that recalls a bit of Zappa but there are strong elements of Magma, jazz, technical death metal, cabaret, eletronica, and ??. A bit weird but extremely compelling and very original. The music stops and starts and changes directions constantly - from genre to genre - somehow it all makes sense. Nagah Mahdi consists of 48 tracks that all segue into one another, keeping you off balance for the duration. The musicianship alone is a trip - these guys can really blow with the best of them. Highly recommended - I think with some exposure these guys could rock the world of many a listener.
