Don't judge a CD by it's cover!, February 6, 2005
This review is from: Belly Dance Fever (Audio CD)
Despite the strange choice of cover model (what's with the woman in a bikini?) the music on this CD is EXCELLENT! I put off buying this CD for a long time because I was put off by the cover and figured the music would be aweful. Then one day I decided to listen to the music clips in the store and when I heard them I just had to have this CD! This is some of the best middle eastern "pop" music. While I wouldn't say it is the best music for performance (unless you have a venue where dancing to pop music isn't frowned upon) it's still great for listening to, practicing zils, jamming to, or usinging in class. Great music to get people dancing!

Fun, May 30, 2006
This review is from: Belly Dance Fever (Audio CD)
This CD is really good. To me, the only real problem is the cover. All the belly dancers I know would be apalled to think that this is the image our fellow dancers are putting out there. A woman in a bikini does not do justice to our dance form. The music is really fun, and it definetly leans towards the way belly dancing is headed. I have heard a few of these songs before, but mostly, I haven't heard of them, which is something I like, especially for a performance. I want something unique, and this has a lot of that. So I say, it's perfect except for the cover.

Belly Dance Fever, April 10, 2003
This review is from: Belly Dance Fever (Audio CD)
I absolutely LOVE this CD.
The cover has alot to be desired. A Bellydancer places alot of value in her costume. You won't see a Bellydancer dancing in a bikini.
However, the music is really good. Alot of it I've heard before on Link TV. They run international music videos on that channel, so if you want to get a good flavor for the type of music on this CD, try to catch their music block on LinkTV. When they have music from Lebanon, Turkey, Iran, etc... that's the kind of stuff you'll hear on this CD.
This is more along the lines of popular music in the middle east. There's alot of fast music on this CD. There are a few slower selections, but not many.
Its definitely a fun CD, though.
For a well rounded Belly Dance music collection, you'll want to pick up a few other CD's. This one is the best music in my opinion, but its not quite as easy to dance to as some others on the market.
Its very enjoyable, I like it alot. I definitely recommend picking it up.
