Gypsy Fire
Turkish style, energetic, lots of clarinet, good male vocals, nice brisk tempos. If you like the Turkish style of music popular with dancers in the '70s, you'll love this! Nice version of Rampi Rampi (9/8 Kashlimar)! Great quality. If you've been around the dance scene for even a little while, you'll recognize all of these.

Dance Into Eternity
Strong and passionate. Not all songs are suitable for dancing, Call To Prayer is religous piece and should not be used.

Suleyman the Magnificent
with Brian Keene
Music from the movie. Many nice (and also short) taksims on a variety of instruments. This one has a very traditional feel, but also some non-traditional acoustic instrumentation and a variety of rhythms. Beautifully done, very soulful. A really nice Samai (10/8), a very fast 7/8 and an even faster 9/8.

Fire Dance
with Brian Keene
This is soulful and passionate music. Most of it is excellent for dancing, but some tracks have religious significance for Moslems and should not be used for dancing (Call to Prayer, Spirit of the Ancestors)

Mystical Garden
with Brian Keene
This is well named - very mystical, lyrical, soulful music. A nice version of the folkdance Laz (7/8), and my favorite funky mizmar Saidi Shashkin. Some taksims and a nice Egyptian dance style piece.

Best of the Sultans
Some of the best music from Tekbilek with the Sultans. All danceable stuff. Most excellent!

Beyond the Sky
with Brian Keene
Some new age sound, some traditional sound, some Spanish flavor, almost jazz guitar, too. Good rhythms and taksims, a bit out of the ordinary, some of it mystical, all of it beautiful. Nice drum solo in Selemet. Nice version of Siseler (Shishelai).
