Rachid Taha, Diwan 2 (La Voix des Lilas; Barclay/Universal, 2006)
Last time, with album Tekitoi two years ago, Rachid Taha was Alter, this time, with second Diwan, he is foremost Different, thus basically not Indifferent, conditionally more rootsy, rough, acoustic, with less electricity and electronicity, not only in comparison with regular author albums, but also with first Diwan (1998), which has in common with Rachid’s nondivanic opus at least sound, which pretty radically changed with Tekitoi (not necessarily for worse, not necessarily for better, only elsewhere), all the while producer remains the very same Steve Hillage (yet the sound engineer did change)
