Default Psyche Belly Dance by Baba Zula

This thread is an invitation to anyone who wants to comment on or ask about the album Psyche Belly Dance, (or Ruhani Oyun Havalari ) which recently won a FAIR poll:-

Ruhani Oyun Havalari (or Psyche Belly Dance) by BaBa ZuLa (2003)


A pretty relaxed album by a band from Istanbul which waters down the intensity of traditional belly dance music with echoey, laid-back electronica. Nothing ground-breaking by today´s standards, but an agreeable listen if you´re not a purist.

Some albums win a poll, but then aren´t discussed very much when they get a thread of their own. To try and remedy that, with TH´s permission, I´ve copied/adapted some of the discussion questions he uses in his own commendable thread: http://www.musicbanter.com/prog-psyc...lbum-club.html. So feel free to use these as an optional grid on which to hang out your opinions:-

1. What were your VERY FIRST impressions on listening to the album, say from the first five minutes in?


2. Did that opinion change as the album progressed or as you listened again?


3. Any comments on the instruments used or the genre?


4. What did you think of the vocals/lyrics if there were any?


5. What appealed most/turned you off most ? Track-by-track, do you have a least/most favourite?

6. Do you have any previous acquaintance with this artist? Other albums? Concert/tv appearances? Have you slept with any of the band members?


7. Any comments on the production, the packaging or the presentation of this album?


8. Do you think the album hung together well, ie was it a fully cohesive unit, or was it a bit hit-and-miss?

9. If you could change anything about this album, what would it be?

10. Will you be listening to this album much in the future, or investigating any related material ?
