4.0 out of 5 stars Trance in Your Pants
Moroccan Gnawa singer Hassan Hakmoun collides with European dance musicians to create a long album's worth of genuine trance music. Hakmoun's spirituality isn't downmixed or diluted by his collaboration; we can hear his raw appeals to God throughout the often-subdued beats. World music at its best.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing,from such a great artist
I personally love Hassan's music. However,this is not one of his best albums. The problem is that it is too synthesized.His singing is wonderful,but they changed the music to something overtly western,which takes away from the inherant power that lies in gnawa music. However his last album "The Gift" is a marvel,in which he shows us that he can properly mix...

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE IT!, March 21, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Trance (Audio CD)
Great traditional Gnawa rhythms undulating under modern World-dance grooves with some Reggae and Rock top-notes. Seriously dance-able, funky and up-beat. I could listen to it all day...

3.0 out of 5 stars a little rough, November 24, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Trance (Audio CD)
Saw him perform live summer 2010 and he was fantastic. Want to find a recording that captures that energy. Was hoping this might be it, but while it has its moments it's a bit rough and inconsistent and production quality isn't the greatest.
