I picked this album up at random simply for the cover, but once I read the inside sleave I was excited and decided to give it a look. I'm glad I did, because this is an excellent CD, beautiful and superbly arranged it covers a seemingly wide array of emotions and sounds, drawing from the Palestinian/German roots of it's composers. If I had to make one criticism, it would be that on a few of the songs I would have prefered possibly more of a bass, or a louder back beat but these are minor quibbles. An excellent CD, lengthy, experimental, beautiful art work and obvious soul and feelings behind and in the music.
Check it out.

I cannot remember the last time I was so moved by music like this. I wish they made more music like this.
I have to add not all the songs were like this, a few not to my taste, but Majlis, Children of Peace, Awakeneings, Stars of the Orient stood out for me. can't get enough of this.
I am just waiting for more music from Oryx, am converted....

AWESOME ALBUM
29 April 2003
Format:Audio CD
I'm really satisfied with such production. Each song have its own discription, and delivers the name its holding. Maybe the two known songs attracts the people to buy the Cd, but i dont think its the only thing the people wanna hear, cause what else on the cd is much better and worth listening to and enjoying each bit of it.
Something new, different, and great

So many artists "follow the leader". But this CD creates its own genre of music - both modern (synths and techo beats) but also rich with culture and feelings (from the traditional arabic instruments). I think Oryx, along with the Gotan Project are the future of music - borderless music that takes the best of everything new and old, east and west. There are also some catchy melodies here and its finely produced.

Nice production but....

I hadn't heard these guys before and bought the album with no preconceived idea of what it was going to be like. I wanted to like it - I really did, but have never listened to more than about 4 tunes in one sitting. I don't think I've listened to the whole album yet.
Why? Well it's very well produced and sounds great, but there's just no soul in the music! To me it is a collection of clever samples and programming. After a few tracks they become indistinguishable from one another, sounding like wallpaper music - filling the silence but not really listened to. Some sound like they weren't finished properly, like Jumeriah Jazz which ends so suddenly it sounds like it was rushed on to the album with no time left for a proper ending. There aren't any tunes that I remeber the name of and come back to to listen to again. They could have done with some stronger songs and perhaps less of them too. 19 tracks of music which essentially goes nowhere is too much.
Maybe it will grow on me. Like I said, I wanted to like it, but at the moment am left with an empty feeling.
