Subject: RE: Review: Muslim Folk Singers
They sounded extremely good, well performed and full of eastern promise, but...

I'm afraid to say that they didn't realy do much for me:-( I guess my ear may be too 'westernised' as I found quite a lot od it a bit outside my 'comfort zone'. It's funny because I realy enjoy the bits of Eastern music that various people have put into Western songs - From the Beatles Maharishi Yogi days to Stings Desert Rain (Is it called that?). I also enjoy some of the Bhangra mixes that have charted, or at least given air time on Radio 2!

I suppose I just enjoy pop music too much and am not a real folkie at heart:-P Mind you, having said that, I love Highland and Northumbrian pipes, Finnish and Danish dance music and Dire Straits. So, those of you offended by my comments please feel free to scoff at my so called 'tastes' :D

Cheers
