Customer Reviews:

good selection of tracks.......2006-12-09

Arabic Chillout (and volume 2 from this series, as well) is a well-compiled, mood-enhancing, beat-infused but relaxing compilation of tracks that are either by artists from that region or western artists who produce tracks with a distinctly eastern feel. You probably already know Thievery Corporation, Natacha Atlas, Christophe Goze, and Radar.....if you like their style, you'll enjoy the rest of the tracks on this 2-album set. Recommended!

an outstanding chillout.....get it!.......2004-06-03

Even though I have a very wide musical taste, I've never been a particularly huge fan of middle east music. That was before I came upon this CD. Kept hearing it playing in various places in Indonesia last month (Bali) and brought it home to rave reviews by all my friends. Definitely an ambient chillout worth having.

Amazingly Superior Ambient Arab Groove!!!.......2004-01-24

This is possibly the best the best Arabic music I've heard in a long time. It's an got an incredible mellow mix of deep groovy rhythms combined with the mysterious icy ambiance of Arabic music's rich heritage. Definately a must for any fan of modern Middle Eastern music!

Cultural Clutter.......2006-08-25

Definitely tripped out, very loungy, great use of eastern sounds and instruments, awesome choice of tracks with good mixing & progression. Everything a lounge/downbeat fan looks for.

Unfortunately, it seems like whoever compiled the tracks, can't seem to distinguish between middle-eastern/north african sounds from east-asian/indian ones. I fail to understand how the sitar, surbahar or indian-tablah can be incorporated into a mix thats's titled, "Arabic Lounge". But then again, its a Buddha Bar release... so I guess that could be why.

Of course, I love the east asian sounds, especially classical hindustani and indian sounds in general. So don't get me wrong, its a great mix, go ahead a buy it. But, if you're looking for specifically Arab-sound influenced lounge music (like I was), then this is not exactly for you.

Alright..........2006-08-08

I like the cd, but after buying Bombay Lounge, it kinda paled in comparison. And there was a track on this that was already on Bombay Lounge. Which i would have preferred to hear a new song in it's place.

But...I enjoy the cd, just not as much as the previous one I bought.

I guess when you get your hopes up, it's not a good thing. I probably would have enjoyed it more if I heard it before the previous one.

It does it's job however. Nice 'n relaxing...

Big a

Disc 2 alone makes this worth it........2005-04-19

I must admit it has been over a year since I've listened to disc 1, but disc 2 is still in the rotation. I believe disc 2 is by one artist/band called "Lots of Arabs." I have all the Buddha Bar series as well as dozens of other compilations in this genre (Ravin, David Visan, Ibiza, Cafe Del Mar, etc) and I can honestly say Disc 2 is up there with the best of the best. To play it at a party or background music you can just let it play. It is not "dance" music and doesn't have House beats over traditional instruments however, it is a very new sound and it has great energy. I play it when I teach yoga and for relatives who are from the Middle East. It gets a great response whenever it is played. It makes great driving music as well. I do have to rearrange the order of the songs when I play it in Yoga which speaks even further of how dynamic this CD really is. Personally I think "Lots of Arabs" should have released this as a single/solo album and it would not have gotten clumped into that "oh, another compilation" category.

Interesting compilation, mellow and pleasant........2005-01-15

This is a little different from traditional Buddha Bar compilation. A little more ethnic (arabic) and less loungy. Very exiting, fresh tunes..lots of new artists that are not presented anywhere else..
