Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars utterly charming pop to thai classical, this is marvelous!.......2003-09-09

i think my title says it. every time i listen to this cd i notice something different, some deeper nuance. music of thailand really doesn't sound like any other asian category, which makes it even more distinct. it's lovely but you just can't put your finger on it...

5 out of 5 stars Cool music from the Far East...!.......2003-08-27

Thailand is, to my way of thinking, about as exotic as you can get, and this disc is packed with music that is quite pleasantly outside of my frame of reference. A wide variety of regional genres are included, from imaginative Western-influenced pop crossovers to more indigenous (though still quite modern sounding) styles. I've never heard of any of these artists before -- which is what makes this compilation so interesting -- but the concise, earnest liner notes are helpful with bringing the music into focus. Anyone exploring modern Asian music should be quite happy checking this collection out!
