(5 out of 5 stars)
"I listen to a lot of world music and own lots of compilations, but when it comes to compilations covering the whole world, this one was a revelation. Superbly selected -- Charlie Gillett's outdone himself. Most selections were new to me, and there is one delightful surprise after another. As I listen to music on my iPod, I always rate the cuts I like: there are lots of 5-star items here. With most whole-world compilations, I find there are a number of cuts that I'd just as soon skip over -- I just like some regions' music better than others -- but that's not the case here.
I'm not often moved to write an Amazon review, but I couldn't help myself. If you enjoy world music, I think you'll really want to get this one."
