"I'm relatively new to bellydancing and bellydance music. I have found on a lot of bellydance albums that, after a while, the songs become numbingly repetitive, and I get tired of listening to them. This album had so much variety in the styles and tempos of the songs, I enjoyed listening to it to the end. Clean, clear, crisp arrangements and recording as well. I was even inspired to get up and dance a few steps (and, I was at work). I think I understand now, just a bit, what it means to be carried and inspired by great bellydance music.
My only wish would be for more detailed liner notes -- orgins of songs, breakdown of rhythms, etc.
Overall, a beautiful, vibrant, luscious offering.

"After listening to them for over ten times, they finally touched my heart and I love them! Several of them became my favorite! Give it a try and be patient. You will be happily rewarded."

"This CD provides a range of quality artists performing quality traditional bellydance music. Many of the tracks count as 'essential listening' for bellydancers - I recall quite a few from my early classes. There is a range from classic Egyptian cabaret through to folkloric tunes, and basic notes about which category each track falls into are included. Despite being more tribal fusion in my own dance focus and music taste, I still appreciate this as a great collection of classic belly dance music."
