Digital Under:Ground :: Ahmed Sirour - The After 2AM Sessions LP - Available Now

The full length debut, The After 2AM Sessions LP by musician/composer/producer, Ahmed Sirour comes one year after his debut EP of the same name. Ahmed Sirour has made quite a name for himself (via the internet) as an independent musician/producer. With numerous re:works and collaborations under his belt, Sirour steps out to present his full length LP of original, fully instrumental compositions. For those that are familiar with his 6-track EP, you can expect a fluid continuation of that EP as Sirour has added 6 new songs to complete his debut. A year ago Sirour introduced his soundscape by utilizing the 3 themes of Love: The Romantic, The Erotic, The Spiritual. The LP finds him incorporating those same themes but delving further to create a soundscape that completely transports the listener to another place from their sometimes mundane or chaotic reality.

For those that are hearing Ahmed Sirour's work for the first time you will quickly take note of his stunning musicianship and wonder why haven't I heard of him before? After that you'll begin to take notice of the delicate way he uses time, space and touch to create a listening experience that stimulates the mind, body and soul.

Not only will you hear The After 2AM Sessions LP but you will feel it as well. From start to finish. From head to toe. The After 2AM Sessions LP is a journey that should not be rushed. It can not be rushed. It's not meant to be rushed. So sit back, relax and let Ahmed Sirour do the rest.
