5 out of 5 stars Delightful and erotic.......2006-09-28

This cd is just what I was looking for. It is great for more than dancing, backround to a romantic dinner, a sensual massage. Let you imagination take you away. I am so happy I found this cd.

5 out of 5 stars Sensual Dance Returns In Triumph.......2004-10-30

With so many modern Middle Eastern Music CDs following the electronic "faster is better and exploit the drum machine" trend it's so refreshing to have an album like this to remember the full sensuousity of the magical alure of this special dance form.
To the reviewer who felt "it sounds like the same song over and over", I can only say you're mistaking the SIMILARITY of tempi and rhythms for the song or melody. It's rather like saying all waltzes sound the same! Even in the short (much too short, in my opinion) samples there is a distinct and different MELODY is every track.
Such soul-stirring and mellow music is much appreciated by those of us dancers who enjoy the chance to luxuriate in expressing the deeper emotion in music rather than gyrating to faster, louder, more distorted and plastic electonic stuff that the party mix albums have forced on the world of Oriental Dance.
The true skill of dancing is the ability to interpret such deep and emotional music with elegance and grace. Therein the Soul of the Dancer and the Muse of Movement.

5 out of 5 stars spellbinding ,evocative and accessible bellydance music.......2002-07-05

Listening to Ron Wagner making music ----- on ANY percussion instrument --- is spellbinding.

Rarely does one get to experience a musician so intensely at one with the music, an extension of the instrument, at once fiery and intently grounded, rooted inwardly in compelling concentration to the hidden core pulse at the center of sound.

The recorded music on the 2 CD set "The Sensual Art of BellyDance" ( Available through AMOZON) -- music composed and performed by Ron Wagner--- is equally entrancing and inwardly rooting.

The first time I listened to "The Sensual Art of BellyDance - Slow Rhythms" I was transported, carried meditatively into the vastness and beauty of the desert landscape, the camel caravan, the walking of women, of centuries of nomadic caravan over sandy arid hills. I was taken inward to the center of my own meditative dance until there was no vision, no desert mirage remaining...only the dance. Subsequent listenings readily return me to this quiet and delicious meditative vastness .

The other CD, "The Sensual Art of BellyDance - Fast Rhythms" has, time and again transformed the hatha yoga classes that I teach, into gatherings at the oasis, celebrations of women sharing their intimate prayer dance and sensual aliveness. Through this music women of all cultural backgrounds ,representing the widest possible range of training, skill level ,body awareness and comfort (with bellydance, hatha yoga, and being seen in their dance)...have spontaneously re-discovered their grace, fluidity, strength and playfulness...the pure joy of movement and their body's innate knowing of the dance. The clean, fresh accessibility of this recording in fact inspired my own boldness in introducing bellydance into my yoga classes. Without any dance instruction, This music inspires novice and "born-dancer" alike to "come home" to their dance.

What more could any dancer, yoga or bellydance teacher, anyone interested in awakening embodied consciousness ask for?? These 2 CDs are magical carpet rides that can take you or your students flying to unknown, surprising destinations...

Highly recommended for meditative yoga or dance : " The Sensual Art of BellyDance -Slow Rhythms" .
Highly recommended for exuberant yoga or dance: "The Sensual Art of BellyDance - Fast Rhythms".

"The Sensual Art of BellyDance" by Ron Wagner - 2 CD set is a DEFINITE WORTHWHILE and UNIQUE addition to my rather extensive CD collection of music .

1 out of 5 stars I'd be better without it........2002-01-23

I have both the fast and slow rhythm.I love the fast,but don't really care for the slow.More than half of these songs have the same exact beats.It sounds like the same song over and over again.There is a slight variation to the songs,but not enough to make it not so annoying.I wish I didn't buy it.If you interested in either the fast or slow,I'd get the fast one.That made me want to get up and start shaking.Hope this helps.

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful and Dreamlike.......2001-09-22

An imaginative aural soundscape of Arabic and Indian influenced music. As in the companion CD "Fast Rhythms", the merger of musics conjures the image of musicians traveling between Rajastan, Teheran and the Arabic world on the ancient silk road, but performed in a more modern context. This CD seems to focus on the rhythms of ýifte telli and wýhdah toweela whereas the "Fast Rhythms"CD features baladi, matsuma, saeedi and aiyub rhythms. The "slower" tempos work extremely well for yoga classes, warmups and cool downs. There is almost a dream like quality to some of the sections making the music relaxing in an ethereal sense. The juxtaposition, at one point, of the Arabic macam of Bayati with the Indian Raags of Sindhu Bhairavi and Kaliyan is lovely to behold.
