Excellent!, August 22, 2007
This review is from: Soup of the Century (Audio CD)
This album, along with "Heart of Uncle", is the best of the Mustaphas set, it says here. This was the first Mustaphas album I owned, and I bought it originally by accident--I was in a record store looking for an album with "Xamenh Evtexia Fizn" on it and bought this album thinking it had it. About the only cut on this album I don't care for is "Sadilo Mome", but even it fits in well with the structure of the album. This album is a must for any world music fan, or just anyone who enjoys music from a highly talented group (and there aren't many groups more talented than this one).

Excellent album, September 2, 2005
This review is from: Soup of the Century (Audio CD)
Ranging from Japanese and Hindi country music to middle-eastern rock, this CD is full of great tracks. The main emphasis is on middle-eastern music. Great playing from everyone. The country influenced tracks were a bit of novelty though (includes Soba Song and This City is Very Exciting), could do without them, but I guess it's all just for fun. My favorites include the opening track (good vocals), Zohar No 2 (apparently klezmer influenced with some strange synth in the background) and Ya Habibi, Ya Ghaybine (with some very well arranged guitar and horns).
3 Mustaphas 3 creates a strange mix of music for those who want something new, and especially if you enjoy world music. I actually find this music easy to do work to. It has a nice familiar feel somehow. It has convinced to go after more 3 Mustaphas 3 CDs. Try it, you may like it.
