Now signed to Jim Chappel’s EMI Records, the title track from second album “ACADIA” leads Jim Chappel’s back-to-school campaign. This fourteen-song debut EP shows the promise that Jim Chappel has. I am not a real New Age music type of person, but i have to admit ‘ACADIA’ really is amazing. Last Hot Album by Jim Chappel
Long Pond Canoe is almost impossible to review. The Loop Road is probably one of Jim Chappel’s biggest successes for the album - it’s lovely to listen to. What sets The Carriaga Road apart is Jim Chappel’s innovative and organic way of creating atmospheres. One of the more genuine-sounding songs is Bay Without A Name. I like the idea behind Cadillac Mountain. The song Wonderland Tidepool ending is my favorite… so catchy! In Jordan Pond you won’t find any flashy solos. Out Toward The Islands is the best music that I have heard from anyone in any area of music. This track is just a stunning masterpiece. Southwest Harbor - A strong beat. Overall a nice softer song. I was truly moved when I heard Acadia Theme.

This disc has all of the essential Tango - Various Artists classics. Since completing 1996’s ‘La Cumparsita (Julio Cortazon Orchestra)’, Tango - Various Artists fulfilled their contract with Blue Note Records and where under no obligation to release another album. Tango - Various Artists’s debut, ‘The Tango’, does not fit easily into one genre. Tango - Various Artists “The Tango” is an amazing album.
Adios Muchachos (Julio Cortazon Orchestra) is simply gorgeous. El Choclo (Alee Gould Orchestra) is one of those songs that will put you in a good mood. I can’t stop humming along Rio De La Plata (Armand Frydman & Deni Hekimian). Je Yous Aime (Julio Cortazon Orchestra) gets you up and jumping. Rotango (Armand Frydman & Deni Hekimian) is a song you cannot help but think about at odd moments in your day. Blue Tango (Xavier Delisle) is a catchy, up-tempo track that has influence of music streams without leaning too much in that direction. One of the songs that always stick in my mind is El Rebelde (Armand Frydman & Deni Hekimian) because the melody in the chorus is so good. Noche De Reyes (Julio Cortazon Orchestra) to me is the best you can get from Tango - Various Artists. This track is just fantastic from start to finish. When I listen to Mon Amour (Alee Gould Orchestra) in my car when traffic ain’t going so good. Vocal harmonies in this track are great and song structure is just right. Voice and instruments in Le Plus Beau Tango Du Monde (Julio Cortazon Orchestra) complement each other. In Buenos Aires 1925 (Armand Frydman & Deni Hekimian) full palet of sound is used by Tango - Various Artists to accentuate the presentation. Pikinito Tango (Los Exoticos) - I used to hate this song, but now it’s one of my favorites. Lyrics of Poema (Julio Cortazon Orchestra) are precise and evocative. Mama (Julio Cortazon Orchestra) is another strong production from Tango - Various Artists.

Ivan Grach has compared writing for Melanie O’Reilly’s new album to that on ‘Tir Na Mara: The Sea Kingdom’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. This compilation contains all of the biggest hits by Melanie O’Reilly. This ten-song debut EP shows the promise that Melanie O’Reilly has. Unappreciated gift to Celtic
This Place is new, fresh, and hypnotizing. Voice and instruments in Feis complement each other. I was truly moved when I heard Oilen Dragochta. Chun Tosaigh: The Way Forward is probably the highlight of the album. Voice of Melanie O’Reilly in Annie Moore is honest and guitar work is subtle and poignant. Tir na Mara - I like this one. This song could easily nestle itself onto the world top playlists. You can find feelings on this piece of art.

While no new Biosphere and Higher Intelligence Agency album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1996 tour in Australia. Self-described as Ambient with lots of words, Biosphere and Higher Intelligence Agency comes out swinging on perhaps his best album to date. Biosphere and Higher Intelligence Agency was a flawless and timeless record. Not surprising from Biosphere and Higher Intelligence Agency and Polar Sequences together. Overall, I would highly recommend Polar Sequences CD.
Corona is just a great song and one well worth taking the time to give it a good listen. Countdown to Darkness - I like this one. This song stands out greatly from the others. After you’ve listened to Snapshot Survey, most everything else can’t hold up and is second rate. Cimmerian Shaft good vocals.

I am not a real Folk music type of person, but i have to admit ‘Untitled’ really is amazing. While no new Current 93 and Tiny Tim and Nurse With Wound album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1996 tour in Africa. Untitled is an amazing album, racked with beauty.If you want to hear real Folk, get this record now!
My Inspiration is You stands out to me for its audacious melody and sheer beauty. The Song of Solomon and How She Sang it to Me is an incredible song that has everything it needs to be another favorite track. Outside of the singles, my favorite song on Untitled is The Seven Seals, and Their Appearance in Nature. To You has a gorgeous instrumental sound, which lets Current 93 and Tiny Tim and Nurse With Wound’s strong vocals come to the fore.

When you buy a Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen album, you know exactly what you’re getting! ‘We’ve Got a Live One Here’ kicks the album off with a blast of pure pop energy. After debuting at No. 1 last week, Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen’s album We’ve Got a Live One Here falls to No. 2 with 295,000, a sales slide of 97%. It is very deep stuff - very exciting
After about the third Hot Rod Lincoln listen through, I began to believe this song is Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen’s essence. Too Much Fun is a song that definitely grows on you and becomes an album favorite. Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen rocks harder than ever with Don’t Let Go. Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen has astounded me with this amazing track. In Riot In Cell Block #9 Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen spins a tale you want to hear to the end. Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen must have run out of lyrics on the next track Seeds And Stems. In Back To Tennessee the light shines equally on lyrics, vocals and instrumentation. Once you hear Milkcow Blues, you will listen to it over and over. It Should’ve Been Me is the albums biggest surprise. My Window Faces The South is a song to enjoy for years to come. Looking At The World Through A Windshield is a great song to contemplate the modern music and what it really is all about. Mama Hated Diesels is the song that really did it for me. San Antonio Rose is, without a doubt, my favorite song, ever. Eighteen Wheels is really a nice song to relax and listen too. This track is a great song that still never gets old. Semi Truck is another strong production from Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen. Smoke! Smoke! Smoke! (That Cigarette) is a song that takes you on the journey before it reaches the conclusion. One Of Those Nights had me crying as I was able to relate so well.

Sanza’s Spirit is pretty funky and mellow. Mangbetu Girl is such a cool and optimistic song that things can get just better. Pangea is hitting on all cylinders in Tanganyika Secret.

The sound of Shri Damodarashtaka is difficult to describe, as it seems to squirm in a sensual manner, unlike anything ever created.

Get Armonia and turn on Shri Shri Gurv-ashtaka if you are going to sip your wine late at night. Lyrics of Bhajahu Re Mana are precise and evocative. From the sound of it, I believe the song can be a big radio hit. Hare Krishna is the most memorable and marvelous.

Gymnopedie No 2 good vocals. One listen to the sheer beauty of Gymnopedie No 3 was all I needed. Gnossienne Nr 1 gives good insight into the truths. Gnossienne Nr 2 have really caught my ear and imagination. Gnossienne Nr 3 is one of those songs that will put you in a good mood. Gnossienne Nr 4 is an underrated song: I like its lyrics and melody a lot. Gnossienne Nr 5 is the first taste of the new album. Gnossienne Nr 6 is a nice, innocuous song, and much better than anything Eric Satie released so far. All of songs on Gymnopedie (After The Rain) and have something to say letting alone Nocturne I. I loved Nocturne Ii the first time I heard it. Nocturne Iii is probably the most interesting track on Gymnopedie (After The Rain). In Nocturne Iv the music gets its power. Nocturne V has to be one of the most beautiful tracks on the entire album.

This track is almost perfect, instrumentals and vocals combine awesomely. In J.

Simply the finest work ever from this multi-talented singer. Precious Love - Divine Protection is worth the money. Although I prefer the faster paced music, I think Celestial Guardian - Celestial Guardian is my favorite song on Heavenly Realms. Fantasia - Nature’s Gift is the albums biggest surprise. Some of the arrangements found on Heavenly Realms are surprisingly edgy. Soul Mates - Infinite Discoeries - A catchy, upbeat tune.

For older fans Blech will put a massive smile accross your face. Another great offering from Industrial - Various Artists.
Rotar_Flutter (Autechre) actually sounds so joyous, that you can practically see a smile on Industrial - Various Artists’s face. Some call Them (LFO) from Blech as a quiet invitation of an artist to sit and listen. Abla Eedio (Plaid) is a very good song maybe surprisingly better than you at first might’ve imagined.

Lead single “The Opera House” and “Frosted Ambassador” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. Olivia Tremor Control’s debut, ‘Dusk At Cubist Castle’, does not fit easily into one genre. It’s natural for Olivia Tremor Control to take a stab at ‘The Opera House’ considering her long-professed love for East 17. Great Indie right here!
Frosted Ambassador is the excellent blend of moody yet optimistic tunes. Olivia Tremor Control rocks harder than ever with Jumping Fences. Define A Transparent Dream gives good insight into the truths. No Growing (Exegesis) is the albums biggest surprise. I like to sing along with Holiday Surprise, though I mess up the lyrics sometimes. It’s such an underrated song. This song may be the most meaningful. If you are a Olivia Tremor Control fan, you will love Tropical Bells. Can You Come Down With Us hits the heart. Within the first few notes of Marking Time it’s perfectly clear that Olivia Tremor Control is living this song. Olivia Tremor Control must have run out of lyrics on the next track Green Typewriters. Green Typewriters 13 is really a nice song to relax and listen too. Green Typewriters 14 has a fun tempo. Green Typewriters 15 is a song that definitely grows on you and becomes an album favorite. Green Typewriters 16 gets you up and jumping. Vocals of Olivia Tremor Control in Green Typewriters 17 really capture me and are set perfectly to the rhythm. Green Typewriters 18 very upbeat.

In Green Typewriters 21 it becomes nowhere more obvious that Olivia Tremor Control has yet to define own style. This track is just a stunning masterpiece. I believe Theme For A Very Delicious Gra is one of the most gorgeous, heartfelt songs ever written. I Can Smell The Leaves has a beautifully haunting disco flavor. I have all of Olivia Tremor Control’s tracks and Dusk At Cubist Castle is probably the most his introspective effort. The Gravity Car is sonically very melodic with nice haunting verses.

DJ Cam’s debut, ‘Mad Blanted Jazz CD2′, does not fit easily into one genre. Jim Jones has compared writing for DJ Cam’s new album to that on ‘Mad Blanted Jazz CD2′ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. This ten-song debut EP shows the promise that DJ Cam has. I wish that “Mad Blanted Jazz CD2″ album was instrumental.
Hip Hop Opera [live] is probably one of DJ Cam’s biggest successes for the album - it’s lovely to listen to. DJ Cam breathes new life into the music in Underground Vibes [live]. Meera (feat Kakoli Sengupta) [live] is another strong production from DJ Cam. It’s a great pleasure to listen to Dieu Reconnaitra Les Siens [live] from the beginning to the end. From the sound of it, I believe the song can be a big radio hit. Track 7 [live] is perfect. Gangsta Shit (4.19) [live] - I like this one. London 1995 [live] - is a breath or fresh air compared to many previous songs of DJ Cam.

This disc has all of the essential DJ Shadow classics. This fourteen-song debut EP shows the promise that DJ Shadow has. Endtroducing is an amazing album, racked with beauty.This is the best album I have heard in a long time
Building Steam With A Grain Of Salt is a great song for a cosy night in when it’s cold and wintry outside. The Number Song good vocals. This track is almost perfect, instrumentals and vocals combine awesomely. What Does Your Soul Look Like (Part 4) - Check out that bassline! (Untitled) is such a exquisite and optimistic song that things can get just better. Stem Long Stem is simply amazing. Mutual Slump - I used to hate this song, but now it’s one of my favorites. Organ Donor is possibly the most mysterious and inexplicable track DJ Shadow ever produced. This song is like perfectly aged vintage bordeaux wine not a tequila shot. Midnight In A Perfect World is kind of track that compels you to skip back and drink it in one more time before moving on through Endtroducing. This is probably my favorite song on the album. This song stands out greatly from the others.

This is the first studio album from DJ Shadow since bad diagnosis in 1996. DJ Shadow’s debut, ‘Midnight In A Perfect World’, does not fit easily into one genre. It’s natural for DJ Shadow to take a stab at ‘Midnight In A Perfect World (Lp Version)’ considering her long-professed love for Depeche Mode. Overall, I would highly recommend Midnight In A Perfect World CD.
This is one hell of a track. Red Bus Needs To Leave - Well, here we get a bit more meaning. Midnight In A Perfect World (Gab Mix) - isn’t quite as powerful vocally, but has a beautiful melody. The Number Song (Cut Chemist Party Mix) is a very good song maybe surprisingly better than you at first might’ve imagined.

‘Found Sound’ kicks the album off with a blast of pure pop energy. It’s natural for DJ Spooky to take a stab at ‘Miscellaneous’ considering her long-professed love for Armin Van Buuren. Lead single “Miscellaneous” and “Central Heating” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. Miscellaneous and Central Heating is really good.
As always, DJ Spooky’s lyrics are worth listening to again and again. Onglon is a song that takes you on the journey before it reaches the conclusion. Bamboo is the funkiest number on the album. I like the agression and power of Aphonia. Tungsten good vocals. Lowest Common Denominator is new, fresh, and hypnotizing. Release is astounding. The song feels complete. Fingerbobs - DJ Spooky first major hit. Plan B is an upbeat song with a constant snare hit. Concussion - This is a very lively song. In this song fans will recognize the unique vocals of DJ Spooky. First time I heard Consume was on radio driving in my car and sonically it just sounded amazing.Silver (6:03) Not one of my favorites, but for a lot of people this is one of their best songs. Seneschal - is a breath or fresh air compared to many previous songs of DJ Spooky.

Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of DJ Spooky on ‘Intro’. It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of DJ Spooky energies, virtually a rebirth. Mila Sparrow has compared writing for DJ Spooky’s new album to that on ‘Songs Of A Dead Dreamer’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. One of DJ Spooky’s best albums yet.
The Vengeance Of Galaxy 5 is a song that will not reduce you to tears but leave you thinking long after Songs Of A Dead Dreamer have ended. This track is clearly meant to showcase DJ Spooky’s vocal abilities. Galactic Funk (Tau Ceti Mix) - For me, this is the best of the album. Hologrammic Dub was the first single release from the album Songs Of A Dead Dreamer. One listen to the sheer beauty of Dance Of The Morlocks was all I needed. Juba is just simply stunning. Thoughts Like Rain is a striking and quite long song. This track is a fabulous selection of easy listening, suitable for any age, taste or occasion. Grapheme as well as many of songs is a short story in miniature. Phase Interlude Pt. 2 - A strong beat. Nihilismus Dub - This one is what it is: a powerful, primal invitation to love. The Terran Invasion Of Alpha Centauri Year 2794 - My least favorite song on this album. Some call Time Out Of Joint from Songs Of A Dead Dreamer as a quiet invitation of an artist to sit and listen. High Density is the more seemingly obscure song on Songs Of A Dead Dreamer that bear up best to repeated listening. Outtro is probably the highlight of the album.

IF YOU LIKE ALL Enigma’S SONG GO FOR IT! On 1996 Le Roil Mort Vive Le Roil album, Enigma have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. I am not a real Easy Listening music type of person, but i have to admit ‘1996 Le Roil Mort Vive Le Roil’ really is amazing. Cool, but I like their other actual stuff better like 1996 Le Roil Mort Vive Le Roil.
Morphing Thru Time is a pleasing, and full of overall coherence that goes beyond other creations. Enigma allows each song to breathe and flourish. I hope to keep hearing Enigma works for a long time to come. This is one of those songs that musicians strive to write and create. One listen to the sheer beauty of Shadows In Silence was all I needed. This track is a fabulous selection of easy listening, suitable for any age, taste or occasion. T.N.T. For The Brain - arguably the best track on 1996 Le Roil Mort Vive Le Roil album. I like Almost Full Moon because it’s extremely catchy and has awesome drumming. The Roundabout - To me, this is the best song on the 1996 Le Roil Mort Vive Le Roil. Excellent vocals and musical performances. Odyssey Of The Mind defines beauty, yet is as unforgiving as an astringent stone.

Stanley Donwood has compared writing for Iggy Pop’s new album to that on ‘Trainspotting Soundtrack’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. There is no doubt that Iggy Pop has talent. Self-described as Soundtrack with lots of words, Iggy Pop comes out swinging on perhaps his best album to date. Unappreciated gift to Soundtrack
Such hits like Deep Blue Day will leave you hooked. Trainspotting - is a breath or fresh air compared to many previous songs of Iggy Pop. The song feels complete. Temptation is a great opener for Trainspotting Soundtrack. Nightclubbing pretty much defines how I feel spiritually. It’s very catchy and easy to get into which is what you want in a song. Perfect Day is the funkiest number on the album. Mile End is one of those songs that will put you in a good mood. For What You Dream Of (Full On Renaissance Mix) is a song that will not reduce you to tears but leave you thinking long after Trainspotting Soundtrack have ended. 2 1 is filled with very deep emotions that will truly touch your heart. A Final Hit is a bit different from Iggy Pop stereotypical stuff. All of songs on Trainspotting Soundtrack and have something to say letting alone Born Slippy (Nuxx). Within the first few notes of Closet Romantic it’s perfectly clear that Iggy Pop is living this song.

Since completing 1996’s ‘Intro’, Jaga Jazzist fulfilled their contract with ForeFront Records and where under no obligation to release another album. This is the first studio album from Jaga Jazzist since bad diagnosis in 1996. Since Jaga Jazzist last CD (Jaevla Jazzist Grete Stitz) on ForeFront Records back in 1996, I have felt a massive void in my life. Intro and Jazzthang (Chillout Mix) is really good.
Jazzthang (Chillout Mix) motivates you to get up and do something to improve your life and the life of others. The Millennium Falcon is the albums biggest surprise. Tyrkisk Pepper is absolutely incredible. In Serafin the light shines equally on lyrics, vocals and instrumentation. Ekteskap - Okay, I just talked about depth. Yo! It’s Christmas - This one is what it is: a powerful, primal invitation to love. Out Of Reach (Or Switched Off) without a doubt is the standout song of Jaevla Jazzist Grete Stitz.

After seeing Hung Like a Bull, I had to have a good Jake Slazenger cd. This disc has all of the essential Jake Slazenger classics. It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Jake Slazenger energies, virtually a rebirth. This album is a scorcher!
Outside of the singles, my favorite song on Das Ist Ein Groovybeat, Ja is Supafunk. Jake Slazenger rocks harder than ever with The Big Easy. When I listen to Lumpback Raider in my car when traffic ain’t going so good. Nautilus is a great opener for Das Ist Ein Groovybeat, Ja. This song is like perfectly aged vintage bordeaux wine not a tequila shot. Gratuit as a highlight of Das Ist Ein Groovybeat, Ja contains a ton of perfect melodies. Put Choin into car stereo for your highway driving Sabbaf I just LOVE this mix! When listening to Hot Fumes, it gives me such an energy rush it’s unbelievable. Come on You Slaz is another favourite of mine. Jake Slazenger offers the kind of music here that makes you reflect on yourself.

This is my first Kitaro Album and i must say i am blown away.
Flight to me is the best you can get from Kitaro. Aurora is a striking and quite long song. Fire can be hardly overrated by any means; this is what Kitaro is all about. Aqua very upbeat. Spring Og Youth - Check out that bassline! I like the idea behind Shimmering Horizon. Oasis is the more seemingly obscure song on World of Kitaro that bear up best to repeated listening. Pilgrimage - A strong beat.

LFO was a flawless and timeless record. Not surprising from LFO and Advance together. On the Lithuania charts, superstar LFO’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. LFO had quite a long carriere and they made many hits. This is the best album I have heard in a long time
Shut Down is filled with very deep emotions that will truly touch your heart. I can’t stop humming along Loch Ness. Simply the finest work ever from this multi-talented singer. No LFO song has come close to capturing my attention as Tied Up did. Them as a highlight of Advance contains a ton of cool melodies. Ultra Schall is a great song for a cosy night in when it’s cold and wintry outside. Shove Piggy Shove is new, fresh, and hypnotizing. When listening to Psychodelik, it gives me such an energy rush it’s unbelievable. Jason Vorhees without a doubt is the standout song of Advance. Forever as well as many of songs is a short story in miniature. Kombat Drinking can be hardly overrated by any means; this is what LFO is all about.

While no new Maeror Tri album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1996 tour in North America. Maeror Tri had quite a long carriere and they made many hits.

In Teil Zeit Microstoria spins a tale you want to hear to the end. This song may be the most meaningful. Feld 1 presents the gorgeous mix of instruments on _Snd. Microstoria sings Endless Summer Namm in such a comforting, confident voice that you can’t help but be moved. Work Place as a highlight of _Snd contains a ton of excellent melodies. Bpi is marvelous song though, very addictive. I believe Quit Not Save is one of the most cool, heartfelt songs ever written.

This album has some very good songs like Deklaration Of Holy War and The Winter Of Mourning. This is one of the best Cd’s Mz.412 has dropped to date. Mz.412’s debut, ‘Burning The Temple Of God’, does not fit easily into one genre. Burning The Temple Of God constantly brilliant.
|titile| is quite refreshing and sets the tone for what is going on in Burning The Temple Of God. Within the first few notes of Feasting On Khristian Blood it’s perfectly clear that Mz.412 is living this song. Other tracks are good but your best bet is to stick with Taking The Throne (In Two Acts : I - Storming Th Gates ; II - Proklamation Of The New Order. This is one of those songs that musicians strive to write and create. Submit and Obey - This happy song is an ode to optimism and an anthem. Nebulah Frost still maintains something of a specific flourish. Vampiir Of The North sets the tone for the entire album. De Ondas Vandring has a beautifully haunting disco flavor.

It has been sixteen years Muslimgauze’ last studio CD, “Arab Quarter [Cd1]” which won Array Emmy� Awards and was nominated for album of the year. After debuting at No. 1 last week, Muslimgauze’s album Arab Quarter [Cd1] falls to No. 2 with 530,000, a sales slide of 53%. Self-described as Industrial with lots of words, Muslimgauze comes out swinging on perhaps his best album to date. Arab Quarter [Cd1] touched my soul like nothing else.
Once you hear Anti Arab Media Censor Part 2, you will listen to it over and over. Yassin Ayyash Part 1 is one of the best records ever. Yassin Ayyash Part 2 is pretty funky and mellow. Arab Jerusalem - A nice song. This song is very powerful, its catchy melody will have you singing along in no time. Extract 2 gives good insight into the truths. Extract 3 was the first single release from the album Arab Quarter [Cd1]. Extract 4 is a bit of a show-tune. I like Palestine Is Our Izlamic Land Part 1 because it’s extremely catchy and has awesome drumming. What sets Palestine Is Our Izlamic Land Part 2 apart is Muslimgauze’s innovative and organic way of creating atmospheres.

While no new Muslimgauze album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1996 tour in Asia. Arab Quarter [Cd2] is an amazing album, racked with beauty.It is very deep stuff - very exciting
This track is almost perfect, instrumentals and vocals combine awesomely. Eleven Minarets Part 3 is beautiful, yet underrated track. There is amazing mix of music in Eleven Minarets Part 4. You have to get essence of the Eleven Minarets Part 5’s power, to truly understand this masterpiece. Eleven Minarets Part 6 is flawed, nonetheless pretty good song. In this song fans will recognize the unique vocals of Muslimgauze. Eleven Minarets Part 8 is one of my favorite songs by Muslimgauze. Eleven Minarets Part 9 is the perfect blend of moody yet optimistic tunes. Some of the arrangements found on Arab Quarter [Cd2] are surprisingly edgy. This is one of those songs that musicians strive to write and create. Although Eleven Minarets Part 12 is very melodic it is far from sad.

Muslimgauze breathes new life into the music in Gifts From An Afghan. The beautiful sound of this track makes you want to close your eyes and sway away with the music. Muslimgauze is hitting on all cylinders in Guilded Gulag Mind-er. Under The Influence Of Kolera one is one of the better boring ones. Devotion Of Abdul Karim is one of the more up-tempo songs on Fatah Guerrilla (Disc 3 - Chechnya over Dub). Camel Abuse Does Not Egzist In has a fun tempo. Although I prefer the faster paced music, I think Abuse does not exist in Mogadisu is my favorite song on Fatah Guerrilla (Disc 3 - Chechnya over Dub). Girl In A Red Turban - another great track from the Fatah Guerrilla (Disc 3 - Chechnya over Dub) album. Peacock Headress is filled with very deep emotions that will truly touch your heart. Best song on the album, love it.
