As all of the other entries in the Rough Guide series so admirably do, this 15-track collection of album tracks and previously unreleased field recordings, ancient and modern sounds alike, serves as a fascinating introduction to the breadth of Iran's musical landscape. Never is that diversity clearer than in the transition from Chengis Mehdipour's "Misri Koroglu" to Barad's "Dar Har Rage Man (Within Each of My Veins). The former is a mesmerizing traditional piece, featuring an instrument from the lute family called the korpuz

The Rough Guide to Arabic Café. Like most Rough Guides, this is a splendid overview of the music of a country that is often misunderstood and little known. Iranian music is a well kept secret - but it should remain a secret no longer. I think that by listening to each other's music can we understand each other - something very important in today's age when Iran and the US constantly demonize eachother. Iran has a staggering variety of music.

Whether by trade, war, colonialism, or Inquisition, the people of Northern Africa, Southern Europe, and the Middle East have been constantly moving about-and bringing their music with them, literally or metaphorically. The thing that strikes me most about this collection is the heavy influence of Africa throughout. Andrea Parodi's minimalist Sardinian folk music with strings exists seemingly in a world all its own. Jazz fans will want to tune into the Hot Club gypsy swing of French guitarist Romane. And the trance-like circular patterns of Morocco's Jil Jilala strangely burrow into your brain, begging mental if not physical motion. It's hard to recommend this recording enough to open-minded listeners who can groove to world fusions of all sorts.
