5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Album for the open minded, June 5, 2005

I consider myself very open minded having favorite albums by Frank Sintra, Slipknot, Eminem, Dead Can Dance, Deep Forest, etc. Of course being a huge fan of System of a Down had me researching Serj. Luckily I came across this collaboration and listened to some samples on this site. The samples are just not sufficient to decide whether you may like it or not. You really NEED to purchase the album and support the brilliant minds that put together this music. It really reminds me of Dead Can Dance with some Deep Forest. If you haven't heard Dead Can Dance either, I would recommend it. This album is great through each track!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brillant and Unique CD, May 28, 2003

Serart is the collaboration between Serj Tankian from System of a Down and Arto Boyaciyan. The cd far exceeded any of my expectations. It is a true aural trip for the listener. It is truly an eclectic mix of music from tribal drum rhythms to Middle Eastern beats. In a few of the song you even get a jazz feel (esp. in Cinema, one of my fav., and the Walking Experiment). Tankian and Arto voice are interwined throughout the album complimenting one another. Tankian's voice never fails to amaze me. Leaving Melody Counting Fear the combination of Arto and Serj's voice make this my favorite song on the CD. Narina is also driven by the vocals Arto and Serj are joined by Jenna Ross. Black Melon has a primal feel that can take you back to the dawn of time. Facing the Plastic is should be noted for the great beat and vocals. Claustrophobia is a spoken word track. As Tankian trademark the words throughout the album are thought provoking
Tankian said when he heard Arto for the first time he thought of the sound was pre-civilization. Well, the two have them have capture the feel the cd is trip through time, space and regions. The songs are often hauntingly beautiful. This is true a unique cd and with each listen seems to reveal another layer. By far one of the best cds I have heard in a long time.

5.0 out of 5 stars the most beautiful album of the new millenium, April 23, 2005

This is the most beautiful album I have ever heard. I recommend it to every music fan. It is not your typical rock album, but cultural Armenian music. I wish I would have discovered this sooner. I don't know how anybody could not appreciate it. Even though it is by Serj Tankian it is nothing like System of a Down. Not saying that in a negative way. It is just something that will really sink deep into your soul.
