Seven Veils (1998) is an album by the U.S. ambient musician Robert Rich. It is inspired by Arab culture and music.[1][2] This album has a heightened emphasis on rhythms,[2] from guitar and percussion. All pieces except track 3 were composed in just intonation.[2] Guests include David Torn on guitar and Hans Christian on cello. Ranked by Allmusic as one of Rich's best albums, it was praised as, "This Muslim psychedelia is a must for every shrinking world audiophile."[1]
