"As a longtime lover of jazz, blues and western classical music I thought I was also pretty knowledgable about African and Middle Eastern music until I bought this CD. This has introduced me to many artists and musics that I would not have looked at before. This is not just an amazing CD to help you choose which albums to buy (and I have yet to seriously disagree with any of its recommendations) but it is also a wonderful general listening about the history, background and politics of the music as well. Put this on your shelf and dip into it whenever you feel depressed about world politics - it will renew your faith in human creativity. Enjoy!......at 320.0 kb/sec!"
