-KEYBOARD magazine 5 Star review

"...Immaculately recorded (unlike some similar collections) and grouped by style, location and tempo. The range and subtlety of the CD is faultless, and finding a sample is easy enough (thanks to the straightforward tempo and style listings)....You won't find a better collection of ethnic sounds anywhere else. "
