What do reviewers say about Interlude Man and Ode to Oud?
It does not try to please everyone, and that is precisely why it works. The spice-and-resin architecture is bold but never bloated. A statement piece that rewards patience.Interlude Man
The smoky-oud conversation is old. What's rare is hearing it stripped to four voices. Oregano, rosemary, oud, smoke, nothing else in the room. Either that's too austere or exactly right.Ode to Oud
