Alien Soap Opera is the collaboration between the prolific remix engineer and former member of The Orb, Greg Hunter, and Egyptian master of Arabic classical music, Amir Abdel Magid. Meeting in Cairo when Greg went to record with Killing Joke, Amir listened in on the recording session and asked Greg to mix a track for him. Enthralled with the results the two decided to work together on a more permanent project. Over the next four years Greg travelled between London and Cairo co-writing with Amir and collaborating on various projects, producing and mixing Arabic music and touring the Gulf finding inspiration. Alien Soap Opera and Fifth Sun were the results of this partnership.
'Second Wave' is an exceptional and intense ambient journey fuelled by an eclectic amalgamation of styles, that will carry the audience through time and space. A predominantly instrumental album, this features a variety of soloists from Amir's orchestra playing on top of ethereal electronics. Fusing the ancient traditions of Arabic classical music and the limitless digital future, the music of 'Second Wave' combines pure echoes of North Africa answered back by hypnotic beats.
