Album DescriptionAvailable in:
Thé au Harem d'Archimède is a 2004 studio album by Ricardo Villalobos. It was released by Perlon on LP and CD. The album's French title, which translates into English as "Tea in the Harem of Archimedes," is a reference to the Mehdi Charef book Tea in the Harem (French title: Thé au Harem d'Archimède), as well as a pun on the French phrase "Théorème d'Archimède", the title of the album's fourth track.
Thé au Harem d'Archimède continues to build on the nuanced percussion of Villalobos' previous album, Alcachofa, while eschewing melodies in favour for rhythm and groove. On vinyl, "Hireklon" is extended by over five minutes and features a longer guitar solo, while the reverberation on the clapping is toned down significantly. An additional song, "Stereobox", is also present.
