A double album package containing the first two albums from Djivan Gasparyan, an Armenian musician and composer known best for playing the duduk (a woodwind instrument similar to the oboe) and working on soundtracks for Western films in the Nineties and Noughties. ‘I Will Not Be Sad In This World’ was first released in 1983 on the Soviet state label Melodiya, then reissued by Brian Eno at the end of the decade. ‘Moon Shines At Night’ followed in 1993 - both are esoteric lost gems.
