Eastern Expressions 3 - Asahi
performed by Ruben van Rompaey, fl. 1995 (Ruben van Rompaey, 2009), 59 mins
John writes: I first met Ruben van Rompaey when he was playing percussion with Solace at a house concert they were giving at my place in London. In that night's performance, he was given a solo, which was masterful, fun and musical, with lots of unexpected twists (and a few body noises). He now has released 3 CD...

He now has released 3 CDs of his "Eastern Expressions" concept, all of solo percussion. You may think an all percussion album would become monotonous, but the variety of rhythms, melodies and structure keep me entranced for hours, and I often find myself hitting "shuffle play" and listening to all 3 albums in a sitting.

performed by D.J. Cary (DJ Cary, 2005), 1 hour 4 mins
The best selling of all DJ Cary's compilations, Eastern Grooves has a friendly, mid-tempo groove throughout much of the album, making it ideal for work and after-work alike. Eastern influences are abundant, of course, and the overall sensibility here is a modern, cosmopolitan one interwoven with more timeless so...

The best selling of all DJ Cary's compilations, Eastern Grooves has a friendly, mid-tempo groove throughout much of the album, making it ideal for work and after-work alike. Eastern influences are abundant, of course, and the overall sensibility here is a modern, cosmopolitan one interwoven with more timeless sounding material such as "Kereshme" by Stellamara. The subtle beats return with "Mirrored Image" by Cargo Cult?an irresistable track by Cargo Cult. Next comes the tabla seduction of "Dance of the Aisles" and the understated poetics of "Arabesque" by Hans Christian. We especially like the atmospheric "Waddi Jah" by Rapoon, which blends what sounds like 1920's Indian radio broadcasts with fizzy, floaty ambient loops.
