4.0 out of 5 stars A pleasant taste of the Caribbean, February 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Steel Band Music of the Caribbean (Audio CD)

The collection is very good with a pleasant mix of fast and slow. My only negative comment is that the sound quality is not the best it could've been. But for a great steel drum collection, it's excellent.

If you want to experience the pop and crackle of old vinyl, this is the rocording for you. This is clearly a poor job of analog to digital transfer. The music content is not too good either.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Album., June 14, 2007

Ignore the bad reviews. There is no background noise. The balance between the steel drums and the other instruments is just right. This is an older recording but the sound is clean and the playing is fresh and lively. A really great album at a really reasonable price!
