4.0 out of 5 stars insanely awewsome, January 25, 2008

By	Stormbringer "k_i_j_e" (The Great Northwest) - See all my reviews

Having been a fan of the SF label's "I remember syria", I was pleased to see this on their ever-expanding menu. This has got to be the the most amazing party music that I've come across since hearing ivo papasov back in '89. the instrumentation is diverse on the label, but it all sounds like microtonal phaser swirl (that's a good thing!). basically, if you want to get your party started "bedouin style", pick this up. hell, knowing the way the "world dance" fad is going, M.I.A. will probably record with mr. souleyman on her next album, and you'll be hearing this stuff at the local club sandwiched between old school egyptian lover and the latest reggaeton banger...
