Music for a lazy afternoon
I started listening to Arabic/Middle Eastern music fairly recently. Most of my "arabic" collection consists of westernised Arabic music. This album is my first venture into the more traditional Middle Eastern music. It was a complete unknown but at this price it was worth a go. Well, this album is certainly worth at least three times as much. It is a very good introduction to arabic music. I strongly recommend it. And if all you are looking for is quiet, background music - it will serve that purpose too. This definitely is the sort of music to listen to on a lazy summer afternoon.

dreadfully fake computer music
do not waste your money on this album, it is well intentioned, but dreadful, in that it is all performed by one guy on his synthesizer.
yes he travels you to various arab lands, but only to hear elevatorized versions of the original.
wanna start listen to arab music? read about it first, listen on line, and choose from oum koultum, farid al atrache, al ghazali,
andalousian orchestras on blue silver label, the master musicians of jajouka, etc etc etc.
