The Art Of Seduction-Belly Dance Music. "Don't let the title mislead you! The music on The Art of Seduction has an innocent and joyful quality. The tone is of longing and delight in love rather than the lusty aspect that the title and the cover photo implies. Very danceable for those Mid-Eastern dancers looking for folk songs."

Bellydance Superstars. "This CD has some of the best bellydance music around, all on one CD! While most bellydance CDs have only one good song that you must weed through, this CD has many of the best songs to dance and listen to."

Bellylicious. "The ultimate collection, compiled in the United Arab Emirates, for belly-dance or just hot dancing – an exotic feast of Arabic, Persian, Turkish and Indian flavors, and more. Sample fifteen delectible international tracks for your delectation, from some of the 21st century’s hottest exotics."

Cairo To Casablanca: An Arabic Musical Odyssey. "This music is delightful, modern, urban Arabic music. I find the rhythms of this CD infectious, and I want to start dancing. The music is also great for just listening."

Desert Roses and Arabian Rhythms, Vol. 1. "This CD of various artists is perfect for any performing belly dancer. It has a wonderful variety of moods, tempos, and styles. There are a couple songs, that go into American dialect, which didn't work for me; but the rest is GREAT!!!"

Desert Roses and Arabian Rhythms, Vol. 2. Desert Roses & Arabian Rhythms 2 is an exceptional compilation of Middle Eastern music with an occidental flare. Each week, I play different music at my introductory belly dance classes, and this CD was a definite favourite for my students. The music is accessible for western ears, yet has enough of the eastern sound to be recognizable as something quite different.

Rough Guide to Bellydance. The CD has fifteen instrumental tracks, any which would be ideal for performances. The music originates in various countries, like Turkey, Egypt, Syria, the United States, Lebanon, and Germany. Songs range from peppy drum solos to ciftetellis, and some have the old-fashioned sound of Oum Kulthum's music. It runs the gamut from folk pieces to classic solo dancer showcases. None of these pieces are modern-sounding, so should appeal to more traditional dancers. Each of the tracks are excellent, so should appeal to pretty much everyone!
