    This is original and timeless, Excellent Meera and I'm proud of you Farzam. Ali Rokouei, Toronto

    author: Masoud

    This is a relatively solid piece of work considering the thin history of Iranian rock bands as role models for younger bands such as Meera to draw inspiration from. The collaboration between the guys(who apparently all came from different bands, backgrounds and projects) seem to work and they gel quite well. I liked a couple of tracks very much. The lyrics and vocals are excellent and the music technically sounds fine but the guitar work though it shows an advanced streak, lacks originality (I didn't sense the lead guitarist voicing his individuality in as unique way as one would expect). It is surely a good start and it is sad to know they have decided to disband and go in different directions. Meera, I Wish you all good luck, both individually, and hopefully collectively should you reconsider getting back to work on a fresh and even more original sounding album - I know, it's only hard work, but we like rock n roll, don't we?

    ...Provocative, Exciting, Uplifting, Original Masterpiece! Engineered to Perfection...Meera crosses all boundaries to carry the audience to a newly defined world and a whole new frontier beyond the Great Persia! Every song tells a story of compassion and hope for humanity...It gets better and better one song after another to the end. Warning: Highly Addictive! You will crave it over and over again! ...Farzam graciously delivers a message of love with every note to the listener's ears and gently soothes the wounded soul of a generation in Ghorbat! Every song on the album is as brilliant as a diamond and hard to choose a favorite! Zendeh Baad Farzam and Meera! Don't miss out on this transcending musical experience! Don't waste time! Buy the CD Now!

    I got my copy of Meera a couple of weeks ago and have listened to it quite a few times already. My favorite tracks are: 2.Wound, 4.Exile, 5.Friendship, 8.Rainbow and 3.Old tree. The most appealing aspect of your work to me is the fusion of persian and rock/jazz genres. This gives it a very fresh and interesting sound. A couple of comments on the CD packaging: I wish the Farsi song titles were also included (not only the English translations of the song titles). Also some liner notes on each song would have been nice (musicians, lyricist, date of recording, etc.). I think what you and other contemporary young musicians inside Iran (mostly inside) are doing, by experimenting with other genres, and trying to push the envelope of Iranian music beyond the Aseel and the jaded 6/8 (coming out of LA) is wonderfull, absolutely needed and deserving much more support and recognition. It's a pitty that under the current circumstances, the avenues for this expression are very limited and lack the support and funding that would help energize and cultivate this relatively new musical development in Iranian music. I just hope that you and other talented musicians who are producing such amazing work in such a harsh context don't give up. Because, let's face it, you guys are creating a new chapter in Iranian music and sooner or later your music will be more recognized and more appreciated. Thanks to Bamahang, Zirzamin, Cafe-Tehran and other websites that are spreading the word about your music and making it available and also thanks to CDBABY for their wonderful shipping and packing. Hey Farzam, I am a fan of your work from Raze-Shab days and was sad to read about Meera's break up. But I'm sure this is just another step in your musical development...Anyhow, I want to thank you for the music and wish you all the best!

  • Thanks
    author: Javdi Jahanshahi

    Thanks a lot. I got the cds and I'm listening to the songs every day. Very professional work with a sound I never had heard before by Persian musicians. 'Ghame Siri' is a significant problem disturbing the wealthy world.

  • What Legends Are Made Of
    author: Shahriar

    Two Words MEERA ROCKS. This is a group with powerful music that appeals half to the human spirit and half to the human soul. The best lyrics I have ever heard in Persian music to date. SUPPORT MEERA and you will be supporting Iran's SOUL.

  • Fantastic Original Music
    author: Shahin

    Meera have truly created an ORIGINAL album. Farzam has a wonderfully warm voice and the guitar play is also terrific! I've played the songs for family, friends and co-workers: The unanimous response: Wow, that sounds really good... who is that? Waiting for CD #2!

  • support the future of music in IRAN
    author: mojdeh

    after Iranian Islamic Revolution, this album is the only album which has a new and unique sound, Lyrics and vocal.. There are too many bands that are trying to create a rock album, but most of them are perfect copycats and orgasm just thier selvs... This album is a kind of Modern Persian Music, we must buy it to support the future of music in Iran.

  • Good Job !
    author: Papak Shirazi

    The song EXILE is beautifully performed and recorded!

  • at last it's here..
    author: Sufi Safavi

    I really enjoyed the music! After years of isolation in Iran at last a new wave of new music is coming up and these guys are of the pioneers of this wave. The mixture of the old Persian instruments with the modern western sound is only one breath taking part of it. Hope hear more from them soon! And of course see them LIVE!

  • author: Ali Gh

    Thanks for the awsome music. The music and sound is very good. for the first time in irani music i could hear drums beat. keep up the good work.

  • author: Shahin

    I first heard of you guys when you had the BBC interview, then recently they told me where i can get the CD now available with my favorite single The Door To This Promise Land Leads To Nought, I also love Old Tree (live) and Friendship.I wish I would win the lottery! ... the first thing I would do is invest/sponsor the Meera US version!I wish you the best, and hope to see more things to come. MEERA and OHum I think are the two truely original rock/alternative Iranian bands but your style of music is definatly more in my taste.

    Hi All This band was the gretaes Persin rock band in IRAN and now in the USA. You are the best forever. take care.

  • Lifelong prog rock fan in USA.Loves foreign bands.
    author: Larry Gill

    This band shows well developed skill in expressing themselves and very perceptive to the art-rock genre. It would have a devoted following here in the USA were it released here. They show much ability in playing and masterful at that. Rock on my Iranian brothers and continue the fight for freedom of expression in all areas.
