4.0 out of 5 stars If you like Anne Dudley, Jaz Coleman, Ofra Haza and Enigma..., July 29, 2008
By A Music Fan "DJ Steve" (NY/NJ Metro Area) - See all my reviews
This sampler is for you. I always feel that because most samplers are free (whether online or at your local record store), they're going to suck. Fortunately, that's NOT the case with the VERY cool Six Degrees sampler here. I started listening, and was immediately drawn in by some of the samples, and what surprised me most was that I actually LIKED what I heard. This was one rare sampler that left me actually wanting to hear more from some artists, especially "Lamaset (Miami Mix)" and "Aegean Dub" by Jef Stott and "Qulanderi" by Cheb I Sabbah.

I happen to like Anne Dudley and Jaz Coleman's "Songs From The Victorious City," and much here reminds me of that excellent collaboration. I also like everything by Ofra Haza and Enigma, and the artists and music on this sampler can best be described as a combination of all four of those artists - if you like them, you'll definitely like this sampler. 7 out of the 8 selections are over 5 to 7 minutes in length, another pleasant surprise.

Best of all, it's free - so what are you waiting for? Thanks, Six Degrees and Amazon.... nicely done!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is free?, July 29, 2008
By David L. Oliver "Desert Denizen" (Deming, NM United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
What a wonderful collection of great tunes! It includes two of my favorite artists: Niyaz and Cheb I Sabbah. Their numbers are wonderful, especially Ishq by Niyaz. And the rest is great too, not a bad song here. Hope this sells some albums for the artists who contributed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great way to discover new artists!, November 4, 2008
This FREE sampler is fantastic. All eight tracks are good songs, and they flow together very well. My favorite tracks are Jef Stott's "Lamaset," Niyaz's "Ishq," and Cheb I Sabbah's "Qalanderi." I have discovered some new-to-me artists thanks to this sampler. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes international music or just likes to try new things.

On the technical side, the installation of the Amazon MP3 Downloader software worked just fine on my Vista laptop, and the tracks downloaded without a problem. The best part is that the sampler showed up in my iTunes library automatically, which was very helpful.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wow this is free?
Azam Ali and Niyaz's (she is the lead singer) tracks alone make this worth buying. Six Degrees is a small, eclectic label and this is a pretty good overview of their music. Read more
