Sussan Deyhim & Richard Horowitz - The Invisible Road: Original Recordings, 1985–1990; their 1986 album Desert Equations: Azax Attra (reissued in 2022) was a high point of vocal/electronic/world fusion, so it's a real treat to get a whole album of unreleased music from that period. It comes with a sad footnote, though: Horowitz died in April.
The Invisible Road: Original Recordings, 1985–1990 compiles an unheard, previously unreleased body of recordings by Sussan Deyhim and Richard Horowitz, dissidents from diametric backgrounds who met during the heady days of Downtown New York in the 1980s. This collection reveals the creative and life partners’ radical shared vision of avant-garde pop in all of its boundary pushing freedom, combining Deyhim’s singular approach to vocalization, Horowitz’s invention of new musical languages, and touchstones of traditional music from around the world, creating a new music that ultimately retains a voice entirely its own.
