Perichoresis is the debut studio album by Ishraqiyun and the eighth studio album by Secret Chiefs 3, released on October 21, 2014 by Web of Mimicry.[2] The album comprises Afghani music influenced original compositions that utilize non-Western tunings and instrumentation that the band had previously performed in over forty countries.[3] It is the second album in the band's discography to feature music entirely created by one of the satellite projects.[4]

Reception

[edit]

Critic Emmett Palaima gave Perichoresis a lukewarm reception, saying "the album has some interesting moments, usually electronic sounds, western melodies, or the occasional guitar solo such as on "Saptarshi", but these often only last for a bar or two before plunging back into a dull microtonal section."[5]
