Summary: Perfect for pop locks and fusion dance.
Comment: I bought this CD at a Zoe Jake workshop. I love it. Several of the tunes are excellent for the slow...fast fusion dance style that Zoe is famous for. I love the jazzy rhythms with that underlying oriental beat.
Its fun, eclectic but definitely rythmic enough to choreograph a nice tribal style piece to. Highly recommended!
Ps...according to Zoe...Beats Antique will have a new album out soon. Sometime in next few months.

Summary: Some cool inspired listening!
Comment: I stumbled upon this CD in my quest for finding good, danceable music to practice my fledgling dancing skills...I am very pleased! The music is a grooving mix of percussion, electronic, and traditional sounds with some great musical surprises that can lend themselves well to choreography. I look forward to more innovative sounds coming from this group. :) Happy listening!

Summary: Great Beats!
Comment: Being relatively new to belly dance, I got this CD so I would have something to practice to at home. I like the modern appeal of the mixes, yet they also maintain recognizable traditional beats. This is something I will listen to even while not practicing. Good stuff!

Summary: Borders on Trip-Hop
Comment: I'm a little surprised to see all the reviews of people who say they wanted to bellydance to this? I suppose so. I think that's kind of missing the point of the CD.
You could also say it's middle eastern inspired jazz, but I think that's missing a component of the music.
Personally, I'd categorize the music as middle eastern inspired trip-hop. A fusion of jazz, hip-hop, and psychedelia, all rolled up into a framework of middle eastern influence.
The music doesn't strike me as regular enough to dance too. Too many odd tempo changes and pauses. This is music you groove to, no matter what kind of grooving you do. You could chill to it in a dark room. You can groove to it while entertaining friends. You can groove to schoolwork. It's very versatile music. But more than anything, it's sheer pleasure. This is beautiful music. Beautiful, wonderful, interesting, compelling music.
