Customer Reviews

an interesting blend4
The sound samples on this site led me to buy this - they intrigued me. The music is as much Middle Eastern as it is South American, lending a soothing rhythmic feel to its delivery. Even though I'm listening to it in my little windowless room at work, I know it will make for great music to play as background on a sunny afternoon or while entertaining guests. Too busy to be New Age, and lacking the intricacies of many Eastern styles that demand undivided attention, it is perfect for these settings. The good folks at Interra Music did not include any liner info, so my limited vocabulary cannot accurately describe the instruments used. I hear wind instruments, a stringed instrument similar to a sitar at times, and percussion that sounds South American in style and origin. Light, uplifting, rhythmic music that comes as a nice surprise.

MELLOW WORLD MUSIC4
THIS CD IS A GREAT WINDOW TO HELP YOU RELAX. I LIKE TO LISTEN TO THIS MUSIC WHEN I AM HOME WORKING ON MY COMPUTER, IT IS NOT TOO INTRUSIVE, YET VERY MELODIC. AS ONE OF THE OTHER REVIEWERS WROTE, AT TIMES IT DOES SOUND A BIT MIDDLE EASTERN, BUT I AM NOT FAMILIAR ENOUGH WITH THE MUSIC OF NORTHERN SUMATRA TO REALLY MAKE THAT KIND OF JUDGEMENT CALL. BUT I LIKE IT.
