[coll.]: BELLYDANCE SUPERSTARS Mondo Melodia, 2002 Yes, yes, yes, it's bellydance mania! Here's the gimmick: eight of the top belly-dancers working in the United States have selected sixteen of their favorite dance songs, old and new. The results are more or less what you'd expect: high energy, booty-shaking Middle-Eastern pop, extra heavy on the percussion and with just the right edge of cheesiness. My favorite collection of this type in quite a while! Fo's Picks: 1, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 13, 14 01. dramatic instrumental; great drums 02. droning fem vocal, perky backing 03. solid bounce, but way overproduced 04. a 3 part mini-epic w/big strings 05. over-the-top drama, fast groove 06. catchy Arabic soul; aggressive voc. 07. old-school instr.; excellent strings 08. mechanical beat; hip-hoppish vocal 09. nothin' but drums! first-rate stuff. 10. very perky, shifting tempo, odd vocal 11. the gipsy kings go south... 12. slower and mysterious, extra-slinky 13. intriguing, cinematic, Spanish tinge 14. anguished vocal: long intro, then fast 15. more varied but longer than #9 16. very commercial-sounding pop [Fo] - 2/9/03 | ||
