A classic, unofficial release created underground by Arash Mitooie and his band. In an era when music was generally and strictly forbidden in Iran, Arash Mitooie and a number of his friends formed a rock band, holding underground concerts and recording some of their music, using what inadequate equipment they could get their hands on. 
The current collection concluded of songs written by Arash on Persian words of himself, except the second track titled "Baa Tou Tanhaa" which features a poem by Azizollah Mitooie, Arash's father.

Musicians:
Arash Mitooie (Guitar, Piano, Vocals, Orchestral synthesizers and arrangements)
Kamyar Kashanizadeh (Bass)
Babak Khiavchi (Rhythem Guitars)
Naim Sobhani (Drums)
Yasaman Hoshidar (Vocals)

The recording was done basically as a 4-piece live rhythm band  on a 2-track reel with one additional pass of overdubs.

Having grown up in a cultural family and highly influenced by his mother, Sima Bina, an Iranian folk music icon, Arash Mitooie was well rooted and attached to Iranian music and culture. However, he chose the path of western rock and roll music in his early teen ages and picked guitar as his main instrument. Around 1994 he decided to experiment with some compositions on lyrics from Hafez, the great 14th century Persian poet. Arash also fused musically, some Persian tunes and elements in pieces.

I don't wanna share your dreams
I don't wanna wait for your team
I don't wanna care for those kids
I got nothing to give
I just wanna live

I don't wanna know about everything
'Cause everything is fake like you
Everything is stats and numbers, man
And I got zero fucks to give
I just wanna live

Yeah, I don't wanna be
On your right side of history
It's a mystery what all of that means
And I'm not all that intrigued about the fucking thing
I just wanna live

Hezbe Bad

A rare unique pysch-pop gem from the depths of Iran's 'Filmfarsi' cinema. Surely subject to controversy at the time (and perhaps even now), Tila's sensual performance and Manteghi's lyrics, are unlike anything else heard in popular Iranian music - a phenomenon even made crazier by the fact that legendary composer Anoushirvan Rohani was behind the groovy arrangement (although mysteriously, there is no composer credit listed). Tila has a few soundtrack records to her name, as well as a few funky duets alongside Zia Atabay. Not much else is known about her career. Enjoy 🍒
