ULICAN - THE THIRTEENTH TRIBE CD

999cuts(イスラエル)リリース
"The Thirteenth Tribe" is Ulican's, as-of-yet-unreleased debut album, from 2001.
It captures the experimental spirit of the early 2000s, blending trip-hop, electronic, and ethnic influences.

Created in collaboration with Mary Kelly, who wrote and sang most of the tracks, the album reflects a shared love for artists like Portishead, DJ Shadow, and Mercan Dede.

Initially shelved due to dissatisfaction with the mix, Stephan Friedman has revisited and remastered the recordings, bringing a fresh polish to the eclectic soundscape. The album also features unique cabalistic elements, with samples from the mystical songs of Rabbi Baruch Shalom HaLevi Ashlag. This long-lost collection is a rare glimpse into Ulican's early foray into goth electronica.

Recorded in 2001 at Aggressor Studios, Framingham, MA, USA.
Remixed and remastered in 2023 at Valkoinen Pöllö Studios, Tel Aviv, Israel.

CD edition, digipack.
