Customer Reviews:
Wrong Title For This CD.......2005-01-16
First off the title "Asia Massive" is a misnomer. There are no Japanese, Chinese or East Asian influences on this record. A better title would have been "Babylu" because the influences are distinctly Middle Eastern and Indian.
Normally I wouldn't make such a nationalistic recommendation, but these tunes could really benefit from more American influences, in particular funk, hip-hop and even some edgy rock chords thrown in for good measure. The syncopated drum kit programming on many of these tracks is distinctly of the soft CHEESE Euro disco variety. There is far too much female vocal whaling too... okay we like it, now just don't wear it out.
If want to spend your money on this genre, you'd do a lot better if you bought "Liberation" by Karsh Kale.
Cool Indian beatz/trance.......2004-08-20
