Perichoresis is the debut studio album by Ishraqiyun and the eighth studio album by Secret Chiefs 3, released on October 21, 2014 by Web of Mimicry. The album comprises Afghani music influenced original compositions that utilize non-Western tunings and instrumentation which the band had previously performed in over forty countries. It is the second album in the band's discography to feature music entirely created by one of the satellite projects.
Reception
Critic Emmett Palaima gave Perichoresis an indifferent reception, saying "the album has some interesting moments, usually electronic sounds, western melodies, or the occasional guitar solo such as on "Saptarshi", but these often only last for a bar or two before plunging back into a dull microtonal section."
