As a soloist he records mainly under the name Badawi, and his third ROIR release under that moniker is yet another significant departure from past directions. Soldier of Midian finds him moving away from reggae or hip-hop-inspired beats and dipping into a Middle-Eastern groove; trance-inducing, multi-layered percussion shimmers and percolates around keening reed instruments, dulcimer, and the occasional electric bass, and vocals are mainly limited to wordless ululations.

Midian is the fourth studio album by English extreme metal band Cradle of Filth. It was released on 30 October 2000, through Music for Nations. The album marks the return of guitarist Paul Allender to the band, as well as the introduction of drummer Adrian Erlandsson (At the Gates, The Haunted) and keyboard player Martin Powell (My Dying Bride, Anathema). Midian is inspired by English author Clive Barker's novel Cabal and his subsequent film version Nightbreed.

Exclusive discount for Prime members. Sample this album Artist (Sample). Badawi's latest release is a pounding, galloping romp through the Middle East. It's his best album since "Bedouin Sound Clash," (better if you like his middle eastern leanings better than his dub leanings) and evidence that Badawi is an artist at the top of his game. On this album, Raz samples his own live playing and subtlely warps it with electronic effects. The results are freaking amazing. 14 songs of relentless, throbbing beats, which continually impress with each repeated listening.

This album has received the 'Honorary Mention' at the ARS Electronica Festival in 2002 in the category 'Digital Musics & Sound Art'.The source material for Raz Mesinai s „Soldier Of Midian“ consists of recordings of Mesinai playing traditional Middle Eastern instruments such as darabuka, bendir and zarb, which he then processes into fierce, perpetual pieces which bring to mind the rhythmic frenzies of whirling dervishes. Compared to so many digitally mediated ethno-exotic fusions, Mesinai’s Middle Eastern chamber dub cum Mizrahi bus station pop sounds raw and bloody rather than overcooked in the oven of a culturally imperialist hard drive.In the current political climate, this Israeli-American musician s violent and compulsive admix of sound sources from across the Middle East bespeaks a remarkably utopian metaphor, because of how its classically Occidental cultural fusion suggests a future where, Jewish and Muslim cultures exist in literal harmony with one another. Mesinai s pseudonym Badawi , Arabic for Bedouin, already recommends as much.Completed late August of 2001 as the fourth Badawi album, „Soldier of Midian“ was titled after a sacred warrior who could never be owned by man. The majority of the record was inspired by the following excerpt:... And they said to him, come join us and fight for our God. I cannot, he replied, for it is you who wants me to fight, not our God. He lowered his sword and they raised theirs. If not for your God then for your people. How can I? He replied, for they have not told me to fight, only you have. They became angry but did not strike. If you do not join us then you will join the fate of our enemies. The winds grew stronger and he replied, How can I join your army when all I have is your word? I cannot worship the man, only the life of the man, If there is to be war let the horses decide who will be victorious. And even after a path has been paved, even then ...I will only follow the storm.The recording is composed mostly in 3/4 and consists mainly of percussion and flute which are played by Raz as well as bass played by Shahzad Ismaily, and a dulcimer played by Carolyn HoneyChild Coleman. The instruments were then sampled, reconstructed, and remixed electronically.
