Central Asia is a place of fantasy and imagination, which includes
the spectacular remains of the Silk Road civilizations, the cities of
Samarkand and Bukhara, and the romance of camel trains. Musically the
area is fantastically rich, despite being little-known. This album
ranges gloriously from Tajik rap to the Kazakhstan National Ensemble
Of The Presidential Orchestra, from taxi-driver favourites to the
masterful instrumentalist on the long-necked lutes that define the
music of the region. The Rough Guide To The Music Of Central Asia
includes popular singers who have appeared in the West as well as
lesser-known hidden treasures.
æCentral Asia is one of the worldÆs great romantic terrains, the land
of the Silk Road û where the sumptuous intricacies of Islamic music
meet the elemental sounds of the Siberian steppe. And the former
Soviet republics that make up the region are currently experiencing a
musical renaissance, judging by this compelling compilation. This is
a world where howling grunge guitar is employed alongside wailing
shamanic fiddles, where bombastic power ballads are inflected by
complex modal systems evolved in Samarkand, Bukhara and other fabled
cities of the Silk Road. Yet, for all the immense diversity, there is
undoubtedly a pan-Central Asian feel. At once stark, invocatory and
yearningly romantic, itÆs best heard through the regionÆs wonderful
women singersà ThereÆs clearly a great reserve of slightly stern, yet
still soothingly maternal female talent welling up in this mythic
heart of Asia. - Daily Telegraph, UK
Asia's fabled Silk Road trade route once stretched from China to
Western Europe and today, the region is home to a vast multi-ethnic
musical tapestry. The majority of the area╣s traditions began in
Turkey but Tajikistan╣s hails from ancient Persia--plus there were
centuries of cross-pollination with passing caravans. The most
ubiquitous instrument is the saz, a long-necked lute, which is also
called the dutar and tanbur (Uzbekistan), setar (Tajikistan), dombra
(Kazakhstan), or komuz (Kyrgyzstan). City-dwellers, with easy access
to international influences, generally prefer a contemporary sound,
while the songs of the nomadic peoples have developed along folkloric
lines. Thus, the tracks on this set range from the cool electronica
of Farzin, to Nobovar & Shams Group's English-laced hip-hop, to
pungent rural ballads redolent of a wanderer's home fire. Together,
they spin a seductive, shamanistic spell as old as the Gobi Desert,
as young as dawn over the steppes.

From now on, we rip everything in VBR, using the alt-preset standard.
h e l p f u f f e n s
We are looking for quality sites in Europe and US, to be afilliated
on. Remember, we are not in it for the creds, but for the spreading
of quality music - we just want to get our releases out to the ppl
that wants/needs it. More pre sites fills this purpose.
