5 Stars first album hit
I originally heard of VAS through my bellydance class. I have more recent CD’s of them, but wanted the debut. I wasn’t disappointed. Azam Ali creates a wondrous mood that makes me want to travel the desert, or dream of life in a nomadic tent near a quiet oasis. I have this music going when I am sewing or creating something or just to dance to when I feel the urge.
I look forward to more!
5 Stars Azamalicious!
This ia a beautiful cd. Azam Ali has such a unique and enchanting voice. She really has the ability to take you places you’ve never gone before. You don’t even have to spend a penny to get there, unless you count the cost of a cd. Anyways it’s cheaper to experience the middleast through her hauntingly magnificient vocals. The differnt instruments that are used also give it a neat effect. I’ve known only two other artists that have done great things by only making noises with their voices, Mike Patton and Sigur Ros. Azam is up there with the best of the best. She’s very gifted. I also own Niyaz another project of hers that is a bit different, more electronic sounding, but fabulous also.
4 Stars Sunyata
As previously stated Azam has a very pure voice and is an instrument here. I do play this quite often but actually prefer Portals of Grace for more variation in sounds. Sunyata has a 90% Indian theme. Personally I love her Iranian sound the best.
5 Stars Absolutely incredible.
This particular disc has a wide variety of influenences. One can detect middle eastern influences, what sounds like some Morrocan influences, and there is one song that could be mistaken for Bulgarian Chant. And through each song, the gorgeous blend of voice and minimalist instrumentation makes for an unmuddled and gorgeously clear package.
5 Stars Awww……
