A GAZILLION STARS *******************************************************************************************.......2007-06-20

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 OUT 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.

Upbeat Zen.......2007-01-09

If you like upbeat Zen type music, this album and the sequels are pretty good.

Simply incredible! There are no words to describe it!.......2006-06-17

I was totally mesmerized at what came out of my headphones when I popped in this CD. Granted, it was the first of this series that I've bought and it costed me almost an entire 20 dollar bill but it was absolutlely worth the price.

Tantriffic!.......2005-09-22

This is a very nice compliation of electronic music in south asian themes. It's all real music and the editor managed to avoid tedious repetitive music. All cuts are densely layered pieces that you can listen to over and over. It's real music, too, not some computerized elevator music. If you like dancable lounge and chillout with a mysterious south asian and middle-eastern themes, then this is your album.

3Excellent sophomore entry in the series!.......2006-09-25

The second entry in the series is much more electronic and exotic with a more mainstream appeal throughout. "Calcutta" is a beautiful song as well as "Eastern Dawn" and "Matter". The 1991 remix of Jhoole Jhoole by the late Nusrat Fatah Ali Khan is my favorite track on this CD. Highly recommended.

Excellent Indian Lounge & Trip Hop.......2006-03-25

All too often, what purports to be "Indian/South Asian" lounge is just some soft noddling music or New Agey music with some sitars and tablas dropped in - and they call it a day.

This however is a great collection of real Indian musicians or at least musicians who really appreciate and understand Indian music ... and of course, real lounge & trip hop music.

About 50% of the CD are definitely cool, exotic lounge - about 50% of the tracks really fall under the definition of Indian trip hop and not really lounge. They are still excellent tracks and if your music horizons are broad - they are excellent Indian trip hop tracks - just be aware they are not all 'lounge or chill tracks.'

The last two tracks are really New Age or old school ambient techno ... they don't hold up as well as the other tracks but overall, an excellent collection of world class tracks.

3rd times a charm... don't miss this one.......2005-01-16

I got a copy of this off a coworker and it didn't strike me on first listen... though kept it around due to the names associated (Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Thievery Corporation et.al.). Through it on my ipod and over the next 6 weeks it would show up in my random shuffle and would rarely get skipped. It is now something that I actively go and turn on (versus just in the rotation) and has become a favorite. This is definitely in the same vein as the Outcaste Newbreed collections. Give it a go..

Good equlibre between West and East.......2003-11-28

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 Durga

but 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!

Medicore.......2003-11-14

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.

Like It !!!.......2003-10-15

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.

The album is full of sensuality that takes your breath away. It's the kind of music that makes you dance.

A unique, moody, exotic CD.......2005-01-20

My wife is into electronica music and purchased this CD to help her relax. A day later I stole the CD and now listen to it constantly on my drive to and from work - modern, upbeat, mellow, exotic sounding... Can't perfectly describe it but it's a great CD!
