Egyptian flavored triphop.......2007-07-25

Most of this CD is really good, there are one or two tracks that I would leave off if I was to put this together myself. It is not one of those CD's you buy with one good song however, and I do recommend it.

Raks is in the house.......2005-09-10

Raks Zahra was made for oriental bellydancer Zahra Zuhair by her husband Michael Cox. This CD is really one of my favourites. Tracks 8 and 11 blend with samples of Rimsky Korsakov's Sheherazade and in my opinion are great for a modern belly-break choreography.

Intriguing.......2004-07-17

I have not listened to the whole album. I snagged the four mp3's that Amazon is offering for free, plus another CTHU mp3 called "Passport Approved" which I **highly** recommend you download too; it is GREAT!!

I like the middle-Eastern flavor to this music combined with the familiarity of house/dance music. This would make cool party music. I like these mp3's so much, I may have to break down and shell out hard-earned cash for the entire CD.

Luckily, Amazon will let you download four full songs from this CD, so you can get an idea of if you'd like it or not before you buy. Thanks Amazon!
