Oud, violin, perc & some vox in on Israeli folk-styled tunes. Various other instruments chime in on random tracks. Some tunes are elegant, almost courtly – almost medieval in their composition, while other tracks are nearly avant jazz. Play any track, 1. Midtempo, swirling Middle Eastern sway. Picks up near end. 2. Recorder & strings, elegant, lovely, melodic w/that medieval air. 3. Upbeat perc/strings, almost belly-dancish w/a bit of jazzy solos. 4. Tinny, Asian-sounding strings. Mid/upbeat w/gongs. 5. Midtempo w/strings/perc melding together. Gets almost trancy. 6. Starts slow, picks up. An avant-blend of dark percussion/strings. 7. Warm, swaying midtempo dance w/that touch of bellydance. 8. Relaxed and flowing w/that hint of jazz to the solo bits. 9. Downtempo w/an Asian feel. Strings, gongs. Stately & graceful. 10. Slow, dramatic, kind of spooky. A very cool, dark sound. | ||
