Le Voyage De Sahar

Oud (stringed instrument), piano an accordion playing slow pretty melodies with melancholy overtones. Sometimes not that "world" sounding, as it's packed with polite, flowing piano characteristic of the new-age side of ECM. Mostly slow and mellow, suitable for dusk scenes in movie soundtracks.

1- Pretty theme, takes its time.
2- Darkly dramatic. Midtempo pace
3- Slow, stately, pretty. Slow piano gets irritating at the end
4- Slowish, serious, heavy with classical piano
5- Slow, a bit dark
6- Upbeat, with propulsive oud soloing early on
7- Vaguely mid-Eastern riff, crystalline new agey piano
8- Slow
9- Nicely ringing melody, gently mid/fast
10- Forcefully midtempo minor key. Serious but toe-tapping
11- Upbeat and slowish, catchy chords; nice accordion solo later
12- Sad oud, slow and resigned. Crisp accordion burbling later
13- Solo piano reprise of 4. Lyrical, kinda boring.
