Negative Positive
Title: The real thing (or close to it)
Review: I've been collecting and listening to these "Asian" downtempo comps for a few years now, (Buddah Bar, Punjabi Lounge, Bar de Lune... etc) and, though I am not Asian or from India, I believe this collection comes closest to what Asian or Indian music is about.The others seem to be collections of Asian artists who have grown up in the west, or are trying to get accepted in the west. This comes from the same point of view, only less so.The Salon Oriental CDs (at least 1-3) have the accent more on the Asian influence, and less on the dance beats. That's a good thing, unless you like the beats.And by beats, I mean dance beats, not Asian beats. There are plenty of dance beats, but not at the expense of the source material.The Asian influnce comes through much more on this collection than others I've listened to. Which is the whole point right?
Is the review positive or negative?
