Segue To Infinity
“The Numero release includes some of Laraaji’s breathtaking, newly discovered zither and kalimba odysseys. It reaffirms his preeminent role in ambient history.”

“Numero Group turns up an outlier in the new-age icon’s catalog: an album of vocal music that, while a lesser work, offers a glimpse of a seldom-seen side of Laraaji.”
