Chill-remixed-mideast pop. Yet another Putumayo compilation. This one is all about mid east pop (Egypt, Lebanon, UAE, Algeria,…) remixed with chill-electronica beats. Mellow, subdued, you feel like invading a small country when this thing is over. Most tracks are decent but not very interesting. Take one at a time, if you want to chill. 1,12 are better. 1. ** Instrumental. Santur lead, trip-hop beats. 2. * Spanish influences, Arab female vocals, nice slow table groove. 3. Heavier drum beat, male vocals. 4. Female vocals, slightly more traditional instrumentation. 5. One of the most over-sampled songs in the history of Arab music. This remix does not do it much good. Male vocals. 6. * Subdued Dub from Lebanon. 7. * Another bass-y track, female vocals, flute bridge, strings. 8. Male vocals. 9. * Trip-hop, Turkish lyrics, Jazzy short guitar solo. 10. Non-standard male vocals, mellow Egyptian pop remixed. 11. * Instrumental. Bass line, electric and acoustic guitar, ambient, very slight “Sahara” touches. 12. ** Mellow funk groove, female French vocals, mix of traditional and less-traditional instrumentation (sax solo). | ||
