5.0 out of 5 stars Is it dance or meditation?, August 29, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Harem II (Time of Rhythm) (Audio CD)

There is someting unique about this CD that seperates it from the other two Harem albums that I own. The first Harem album Rythm Colour is more acustic. That one is a must have if you like traditional sound but done well. Harem II (this one) has more techno but it has a meditational element to it that is hard to describe. It is perfect to play start to end. It is truly spritual. It moves your soul and whiggles your body. Harem III also has a number of excellent entumental tracks but some of the vocal tracks are annoying. If you like the techno element in this second album, you really need to check out some of the tracks in the third one. If you are an acoustic person, stick with I, II only..

5.0 out of 5 stars Quite possibly the best of the latest from the Middle East, December 29, 2004

Harem is definitely *not* your stereotypical Middle Eastern percussion band. They openly experiment with blending Middle Eastern music and Western, and the results are nothing short of stupendous!

The instruments and rhythms are familiar, but are used in new and creative ways. Add to this the fact that the musicians are all first-rate, and you have music with an energy that's been missing from Middle Eastern music.


I like the fact the group has incorporated a couple of "straight traditional" pieces in the CD, and am constantly impressed by their musical ability. Fantastic!

Those who attempt to dance to this music are going to find it requires being able to think "outside the box" - Way beyond the reach of the average belly dancer. Not because the instruments and the rhythms are unfamiliar, but because the music is so innovative, so *fresh*!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic music, May 24, 2010

I came across this music and I loved it right away. Use it for spin class and for other sport activities...
