"I don't know what basis people use for deciding how they want to rate a CD. I like this CD. It's been my constant listening companion since I purchased it 3 days ago. I know that eventually I'll be ready to start listening to other artists but I find this CD very pleasurable to listen to. There are plenty of songs on this CD that make my body want to move and that's what is important to me, does my body want to move to the rhythm. No, I don't feel that way about every song but I'm more than happy to listen to the songs that don't inspire movement."
Good equlibre between West and East

"This lounge collection it's very nice and it's very simple.
Each song is in equlibre between the indian (oriental and arabic in general) and the western sound.
No esasperet sounds from India no boring tribal music with mystic voices.
It's for sure a lounge music cd with oriental influence...not a new age cd for meditation and relax.
All the cd it's of top level, in particular :
Nitin Shawhney - Sunset
Transglobal Underground - Vanilka ....(even 6 stars!!)
DJ Cheb I Sabbah - Shri Durgabut really great also Lemongrass, James Asher and Digital Blend.
Dont' worry you can put this Cd in all the occasion don't only when you would like to be oriental oriented...
Better than a Bhudda bar...for sure!"

"Ok selection of music, but definitely not the best out there. There are better blends of eastern/Indian and electronica. For something that's supposedly an exotic mix of music, it's fairly bland. That said, it's got some good music on it, but for the money there's better to be had.The group Lumin are great, as is Six Degrees' Arabian Travels 2. If you're looking for something with an Eastern flavor to it, I'd recommend those over this collection. I believe you can find both here at Amazon."

"I RECENTLY PURCHASED AROUND 1000 WORLD MUSIC CDS AND HAVE THEM ALL IN MY COMPUTER AND I PLAY THEM ON RANDOM -- EVERY TIME I HEAR A REALLY COOL SONG THAT I SIMPLY MUST STOP WHAT I'M WORKING ON TO INVESTIGATE WHAT IT IS, 9 TIMES OUT OF 10 IT TURNS ON TO BE ONE OF THE SONGS ON ONE OF THE 4 TANTRA LOUNGE CDS I HAVE. I FELT COMPELLED TO WRITE A REVIEW BECAUSE I TOOK A CHANCE IN BUYING ALL THE WORLD CDS I HAVE TO EXPANSE MY LISTENING HORIZONS AND REALLY WANT TO PROMOTE HOW MUCH I LIKE THIS LABEL."
