"Classic Arabic dance songs mix it up with free jazz, techno, and rap in the Casba. This CD really takes you for a kinetic dance journey -if you play it loud- or a sweet mystical tour if you prefer ambiance down low in the BG. I liked the way the alternating men/women vocals wailed like mystical prayers at a dancer's temple. The beat though sometimes very convoluted, never stops. If you liked Peter Gabriel's Passion, his electronic score for the movie "The Last Temptaion of Christ" you will be exhilirated by ARABESQUE. It's got the same timeless ambiance of haunting Arabic desert music, but with lots of modern dance beats, studio enhancements and eclectic cultural references.I liked this CD so much, I'm ordering a second copy as a thank you gift for a friend."
Incredible Middle Eastern music with modern infusions!

"I found this album while on vacation and bought it right away for fear I would never find this great album again! Luckily for all of you, it is available on many online vendors, like here on Amazon. I highly recommend it! It had me dancing in the store! I am a traditional Middle Eastern dance student, and am always on the look-out for traditional music. Well, this is traditional with a twist! It's got all the instruments you would expect from the traditional music, but borrows from modern house and techno beats and influences to create an amazing sound you won't be able to stop listening to! If you have any interest in ethnic influences in modern beats (think Dead Can Dance, Tea Party), don't pass up this album!"
North African Funk

"For all those fans of the swirls of North African music, here's something traditional but also brings the balance of driving bass lines. The tenor of the traditional sound is broadened and given a contemporary feel by the pounding rhythm. Great in the car on a roadie with some friends - really transports you in time and space."
The perfect combination

"i do not have the cd in front of me so i won't get into the attributes of each and every track but i can tell you 3 things:
1)buy this cd
2)you'll love it
3)i guarantee it (of ocurse, this is not legally binding).
i think the secret of this cd's success lise in the perfect mixture of old fashioned oriental tunes and beats together with up-to-date technology and thoughts. i liked the way the tracks took me from the stuffy vibrand inside of a bedouin tent on a cold starry mid-sahara night into the throbbing and sexy lounge of that favorite night club i always want to go back to.
great for background listening and great to get yourself, and your guests into the mood for more!"
Amazing

"After going to an asian/middle eastern restaurant in London that was playing this cd, I absolutely had to get it! Never having listened to this type of music before, I was addicted. With great beats and an amazing melodic harmony, this cd will please anyone! All the tracks are amazing, but I especially liked #9. I strongly recommend this cd, it is well worth the price!"
