There are some very good Mor-Lam tunes on this CD. When you add this to your audio library, however, you might want to cut out the two comedy cuts. I believe Sublime had a theory that they wanted to represent the genre. That's cool, but the last thing you want to hear when you're relaxing in the bathtub is two out-of-place non-tunes. Don't get me wrong, almost all the cuts on this CD are good songs, but the two comedy bits just get in the way. It's all good after you get rid of those.

Until very recently, the vintage Molam pop was not part of my musical expertise... You know, being aware about what is happening in the worldwide musical past, present and future is an impossible task! It is something build on a daily basis, based on luck, network and patience! Anyway, the Molam sound, traditional or revisited, is something so intense and impossible to get out of one's head, when discovered... Try this compilation it is really worth spending some of your time.

Being new to this sort of music, I liked it all!! The high female voices are unique and the jnagly tunes are very easy to groove along to. I'll be chasing up more of this type of music.
