5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiration, June 25, 2000

By	Laith M. A. Biltaji "Come into the Light" (Jordan) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

To listen to Ilham play, is a joy that elevates me to different levels of being, I have seen him live many times and to finally get his songs on CD is truly amazing, this is a CD that carries Middle Eastern traditional song alongside Western Jazz into a new kind of musical pleasure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lively!, March 22, 2000

By	George F. Saad (USA) - See all my reviews

A great composition of LIVELY rhythmes and "feel-happy" tunes! I enjoyed listening to it very much even without understanding the lyrics. The guitar and the soothing voice combine to give the soul a tingle of happiness. Suitable for anytime, anywhere, and anyone that enjoys a GOOD rhythm. Joetty thanks for getting me this for a gift!

This CD is excellent. Great to listen to while walking/driving. It's uplifting, it's contemporary and it's fun to listen to. It's modern for middle eastern music.
