5.0 out of 5 stars Tribal Fusion breaking new ground, January 7, 2008

Beats Antique is a wonderful collection for Tribal Fusion, even in it's divergence from the Solace crowd, and Pentaphobe dark electronica influences. (Which I still love BTW) This album breaks new ground and delves into early jazz, blues, and San Francisco Chinatown (1800's)style, with middle eastern drum beats to overlay. It's a hypnotic,opium filled fantasy full of deep smoky images from the past, seeping under the wooden floorboards of a jazz club down a back alley and with the right password, you gain access to it's delicious rhythms.

5.0 out of 5 stars Borders on Trip-Hop, June 16, 2008

I'm a little surprised to see all the reviews of people who say they wanted to bellydance to this? I suppose so. I think that's kind of missing the point of the CD.

You could also say it's middle eastern inspired jazz, but I think that's missing a component of the music.

Personally, I'd categorize the music as middle eastern inspired trip-hop. A fusion of jazz, hip-hop, and psychedelia, all rolled up into a framework of middle eastern influence.

The music doesn't strike me as regular enough to dance too. Too many odd tempo changes and pauses. This is music you groove to, no matter what kind of grooving you do. You could chill to it in a dark room. You can groove to it while entertaining friends. You can groove to schoolwork. It's very versatile music. But more than anything, it's sheer pleasure. This is beautiful music. Beautiful, wonderful, interesting, compelling music.

This CD is FANTASTIC! Definately my favorite CD as a tribal dancer. I HIGHLY reccomend this, the music is just phenomenal. You'll especially appreciate this if you're familiar with The Indigo.
