While the trio became locally\nknown for their live shows at the iconic Amman club\nRumours, the music they wrote and recorded together was\nnever officially released and remained unheard even\namong friends and family of the band.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The album blends smooth R\u0026amp;B, jazz and sophisticated\npop arrangements, drawing inspiration from artists such as\nBobby Caldwell, Steely Dan, Michael Franks, early George\nMichael, Tears For Fears, Level 42 and Stevie Wonder,\nwhile still sounding entirely their own creation.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Tracks like ‘Love Meeting Love’ and ‘Over You’ showcase\nthe band’s smooth harmonies, synths and musicianship.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The release began as a cassette found in a family archive\nand has now eventually become one of Habibi Funk’s\nmost pleasantly surprising resurgences of late 1980s Arab\nindependent music - a timeless collection of songs made\nbetween rehearsals, nightlife shifts, aviation careers and\neveryday life in Amman.","brand":"Habibi Funk Records","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":51591025099030,"sku":"RMX-71469","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":51591025426710,"sku":"RMX-71470","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/6a5de2bd7ecb00c4e53cc103_292550d5-7061-44e4-ba78-7f4fe97c9ace.jpg?v=1784554935","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/nechazz-pieces-of-a-dream","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
