Middle Eastern
 el-Hadra
by Ted de Jong, Klaus Wiese and Mathias Grassow
Tabla, zither and keyboards are used to create mesmerizing Sufi meditation music on this extended composition by Wiese, who notes, "The pulse of the rhythm is of great importance here because it corresponds with the breath and the heartbeat at the same time." Beginning with slow rhythmic pulsations, the music invites us to enter the timeless trance. As the tabla drums commence their enticing cadence, a single strum of the zither rings out an invitation to the soul to embrace the music. Gradually the graceful rhythms irresistibly draw us deeper into the blissful and serene abandon of the mystic dance. Reviewed by Lakshmana Simpson.

 Sufi Splendor
by Sufi Splendor
The music starts. You begin to spin uncontrollably like you did when you were a child. You don't get dizzy though, as the music lifts your spirit and keeps you from falling. The Turkish flavor of Sufi Splendor is perfect for both Sufi dancing and belly dancing. Middle Eastern music has been very popular recently and with past best sellers like El-Hadra, Niya Yesh, Mystic Journey and Mask and Mirror; this influence is becoming more prevalent. There is something about this style of music that almost requires your body to move! Reviewed by Steve Fischer.
