Nile linchpin Karl Sanders issued another beautiful acoustic release of Arabic flavors mixed with Western structures. The music contains some of Sanders’ blistering fretwork, but it never strays from its overlying melody and accessibility. Covering Turkish, Egyptian, Indian, and Arabic styles, Saurian Exorcisms is a must-own album.
