Shy Angels is Bill Laswell's reinterpretation of the entire "Madman Of God" album, in which Sussan Deyhim presents her uniquely personal reading of divine love poems by Rumi, Saadi and other Persian Sufi masters. In true Laswell form, Shy Angels stretches Deyhim's material into a world of Eastern fusion that incorporates elements of dub, arabesque and Laswell's signature ambient drum programming.
