"...Immaculately recorded (unlike some similar collections) and grouped by style, location and tempo.
The range and subtlety of the CD is faultless, and finding a sample is easy enough (thanks to the straight
forward tempo and style listings)....You won't find a better collection of ethnic sounds anywhere else. "

"The geographical breadth of styles and influences is astonishing, and this two-CD set probably represents
the most comprehensively usable, best-recorded collection of World Music samples I've had the pleasure to
review so far."-Sound on Sound 5 Star review

"Spans a wide area, ranging from China and India, to the Middle East; this revolutionary title covers
instrumental and non-instrumental sounds from most countries in the continent. ....Provides a treasure
chest of musical phrases....Sonic details are captured in absolute hi-fi...no noise whatsoever."
