Awara – Love / The Hour Of Battle
The most inspiring band from the Netherlands, The Ex, bringing along Awara to the party. Awara were a Iraqi / Kurdistan outfit that had escaped the clutches of the then favoured dictator of the U.S. and Europe, Saddam Hussein. Mr Hussein ended up slightly less favoured by the ‘super powers’ a couple of decades down the line.
This 7″ single is packed up with literature as you would expect from a release featuring The Ex. Unfortunately the most interesting looking fold out poster is all written in Dutch and Kurdish. I do know from the English translation that the track ‘The Hour Of The Battle’ is a cry for Kurdish independence in the region.

Thanks for all the great uploads recently!

April 6, 2008 at 2:39 pmThat will be a tad difficult, as I haven’t heard of any Current 93 shows in Cambodia, where I’m residing since a couple of years…
Just take a picture with a rehular camera, if it’s not too blurry I may be able to work some of it out!
