Music reviews of Babelesque (Dig)
Music Review: Disappointing
Rating: 3 Stars
As a souvenir for folks who have just seen the newest BDSS show, I imagine Babelesque is sufficient. But as a dancer, I often turn to the Superstars CDs for new music to use in performance. This CD is disappointing in that respect.
The opening track is a lovely piece by Dinletir but I imagine it will suffer from overexposure in the dance community quickly, as his previous piece, "Entrance of the Stars", has.
The next THREE tracks are all from one source album: _Asena_. It's a great album for sure, but to fill three tracks with material from one source seems like padding. One of those tracks, "Warda", has already been featured on BDSS I, which just adds insult to injury. "El Kalaw (sic) ala Meen", by Saad, also appears on a previous BDSS compilation.
Next is "Desert Fish" from Oojami's _Bellydance Breakbeats_. The source album was released in 2002, so it's a safe bet many dancers who are into BDSS may already own it.
The remaining tracks run the gamut from industrial to Tahitian, with only one ("Wadah" by Latifa) falling squarely into the Arab pop genre. If you don't own much "bellydance" music, want to stretch your dance parameters a bit, or want to relive a BDSS performance, this album is a good listen -- but if you're looking for new music to use in straight performance, you'd be better off looking elsewhere. Like the biblical tower that shares its name, "Babelesque" seems to be lost in translation.
