I first heard this music in a middle eastern import shop in Pike Place market - Pharaoh's Treasure. I'm not a huge fan of electronica/techno, but the haunting chant-like elements of this album stood out. I'd highly recommend this unusual album.

This is a great example of finding great music when you look outside the places you normally search. I picked up my copy of this at the Melting Pot in Reno, NV and have probably listened to it a hundred times in the 3 years I have had it. It effectively meshes together the musical trademarks of Arabic sound to a very danceable beat/electronic famework.

I highly recommend this toanybody looking for a different twist to the "normal" selection of dance music out there. I would definitely put this on my list of CDs totake with me on a long trip. For similar music - check out some of my other reviews.
