Adventure Cargo Echoes of Egypt by Diane and David Arkenstone
Reviewed by Anala Rabari
Echoes of Egypt is different than most traditional CDs because it only has 5 tracks; however, the nearly hour journey through Egypt that it offers is no less exciting than any other Egyptian music CD. Since the majority of tracks on this CD are over 14 minutes they aren't very conducive to performance. But I love to crank up the volume on this disc for personal warm-ups or longer practices. There is one song that is almost 6 minutes and my class loves it when I use it for warm-up in class or it would be excellent for a troupe choreography. I know you will fall in love with the steady driving beats, repetitive rhythms, and haunting melodies just as I did. So run out and grab a copy of this disc today.
