01.08.2011
Unforgettable Sufis brings together the eternal poetry of mystic poets, Kabir Sahib and Hazrat Amir Khusrau. The evocative lyrics drawn from their poetry explore the myriad shades of love and spell the rich experience of musical ecstasy. The most fascinating aspect is that these renditions are blend with the melody of Indian Classical music, making this album a timeless gift of love for the yearning souls who long to be in communion with the divine.
Pete Namlook & Burhan Öçal – Sultan Osman
01.08.2011
For the first time this album I heard from their friends. He was already for a long time brought from Turkey. Choose it according to the principle”let us where more than in any of the reels, etc. Apparently the seller looked at his own view of western tourists and decided to offer him something, so too did not hurt his western ears. And that’s turned up for the most appropriate disk – Sultan Osman, who is a rather interesting symbiosis of different genres, where the advantage of without a doubt can be given to ethnic music and electronics. However, among all the other things there are in this album and some special mysticism, especially when it recitate texts monotone voice under strange rhythms, which seems like the closer, then move away. For sure many fans of not simple tunes like the Turkish album.

25.10.2010
Laos is an ethnically diverse country, with ethnic Lao living in the lowland regions and many ethnic minorities, such as Hmong, living mainly at higher elevations. This recording features music of the ethnic Lao as represented primarily by those musicians found in and around the capital Vientiane and the former seat of the Lao court, Luang Prabang. This includes music for the khaen, the free-reed mouth organ paramount to Lao musical culture, in solo, ensemble, and accompanying a solo singer. Also included are three pieces from the classical and court tradition which developed in interaction with those traditions in Thailand and Cambodia.
