Songs full of melancholy, enrobing their listeners, at times full of opulence, sprinkled with psychedelic moments such as on 'Take a Blue Handkerchief', then again appearing almost fragile, as heard on 'The Unique Gem', and in other instances falling into more rock-forward realms as 'Not Anymore' does. This album compiles Songs that Touraj recorded between 1973 and 1978, arranged and orchestrated by the French composer Eric Arconte, who became one of the most influential arrangers of Iranian pop music in the 1970s. The songs were often published on almost forgotten compilations through various labels, mostly on cassette or vinyl and in rather bad quality.
