5.0 out of 5 stars "I can't explain in words,", July 30, 2004

says a voice a couple of times, in one of the songs. I think the same thing is valid for the satisfaction one gets from the whole albume. Mercan Dede uses the rhythms and the moods present in sufi music, and creates an above-all-feelings music that just becomes an eternal delight to listen. It's important to note that Mercan Dede believes in sufi philosophy and shows his appreciation throughout his original electronic style. For those, who are trying to choose which of his albumes to purchase, I'd recommend 'Seyahatname'. Mercan Dede made two more albumes after 'Seyahatname', 'Nar' and 'Su', released lately. 'Nar' is also recommended highly.

I truly love Marcen's music. I almost have all of his albums and I think "Seyahatnameh" - meaning the story of a journey - is one of his best works. Espesially I was amazed by the way he blended persian instruments, music, vocals and Rumi lyrics in this album. Highly recommended, If you are a fan of eastern music.
