The music is a flowering of experimentation with synthesizers, complex electronic flourishes, hard disco funk and swirling innovative melodies based on traditional forms. This LP compilation proves some of the most forward thinking music being made in Arab world was conjured by absorbing everything that radiated from European and American discos and then furthering the dialogue, with sublime results. Features twelve secret weapon tracks to set ablaze any dance floor. Artists featured include: Nemnom, Ilsan Al Munzer, Assa’d Khoury, Mohammed Jamal and several other visionaries in the Arabic disco pantheon.
