The real thing (or close to it).......2005-09-15

I've been collecting and listening to these "Asian" downtempo comps for a few years now, (Buddah Bar, Punjabi Lounge, Bar de Lune... etc) and, though I am not Asian or from India, I believe this collection comes closest to what Asian or Indian music is about.
The others seem to be collections of Asian artists who have grown up in the west, or are trying to get accepted in the west. This comes from the same point of view, only less so.
The Salon Oriental CDs (at least 1-3) have the accent more on the Asian influence, and less on the dance beats. That's a good thing, unless you like the beats.
And by beats, I mean dance beats, not Asian beats. There are plenty of dance beats, but not at the expense of the source material.
The Asian influnce comes through much more on this collection than others I've listened to. Which is the whole point right?

Definetely the best of the series though 2 and 3 are pretty good too.Great cd.

Every track is great.......2002-04-17

I've played this double-CD for my friends, and every one of them is crazy about it. Every track is an eclectic blend of ethnic-infused, downtempo groove that puts a rhythm in your walk. My favorites are the two versions of "Laissez Moi Me Griser," but all of the tracks are great. I'm happy to see it's available in the U.S. now...buy it while you can!

Don't let the broken English in the liner notes fool you- this is a great collection of Indian and Asian chillout for your den.
