The Invisible Hands: Alan Bishop, Cherif El Masri, Ayawasqa, Adham Zidan. "Years in the making amidst multiple other projects, the third album by The Invisible Hands has finally seen the light of day. In 2014, just after releasing their second album Teslam (ABDT 054CD/LP, 2014), The Invisible Hands met to begin recording their third album. But there was a problem: Alan Bishop had dozens of new songs to record and a slow-motion reality bi-product of this dilemma was that one new album became several new albums. Three of those were released under Bishop's Alvarius B. moniker (With a Beaker on the Burner and an Otter in the Oven) in November of 2017 (ABDT 059CD). Although that triple LP featured many additional musicians, it was essentially part of a grander Invisible Hands project which began morphing into several new directions. Between October of 2014 and January of 2020, nearly 100 songs were recorded by various forms of the group. Many tracks have remained unreleased or unfinished. Final post-production was completed on The Big Minute in late 2022 and it features the premier studio versions of several original songs and most of the covers from the band's live repertoire (including 'Dirty Angels' by Ennio Morricone, 'Watchin' You' by Brainticket, and 'Black Orchid' by Sun City Girls). Now, almost nine years after the release of their second album, Teslam, you can finally listen to the official third album from the only folk-psychedelic-rock band to ever hail from Egypt." --Mustafa Murkos, Cairo, January 2023. Limited edition LP release of 500 copies with insert text and photos.

The Invisible Hands are a folk-psychedelic-rock band composed of Alan Bishop, Cherif El Masri, Ayawasqa, and Adham Zidan. Their third album, The Big Minute, has been in the making for years, with recording beginning in 2014 after the release of their second album Teslam. However, Alan Bishop had so many new songs that one album turned into several, with three released under his Alvarius B. moniker in 2017. Over the years, nearly 100 songs were recorded by various forms of the group, with many remaining unreleased or unfinished. The Big Minute was finally completed in late 2022 and features original songs and covers from their live repertoire, including songs by Ennio Morricone and Brainticket. This official third album is the only one from a folk-psychedelic-rock band to ever come out of Egypt.
