Haunting Arabic and Turkish
melodies are combined with
elements of electronica, pro-

gressive rock and varied
instruments such as violins
and didgeridoos, to create one
of the most unique CD’s | have
ever heard. The effect is both
captivating and soothing at
once, Dust does not reach up
and force you to listen to it,
instead it takes the listener on
a musical journey through the
Middle East and back again.

All the songs on Dust are very
long, averaging out at seven
minutes each, which can
make the album feel extraordi-
narily long if you were to sit
down and just listen to it; but
the soothing melodies make it
the perfect CD to listen to
while reading or relaxing. Fans

LOCAL SPOTLIGHT

of world music and experi-
mental music will enjoy this
truly distinctive and engaging
CD.

Aura

The Mission UK is a well
established cult legend in
Europe. Over the past ten
years they have increased
their fame with hit singles
such as “Wasteland” and
“Butterfly on a Wheel”. The
Mission UK’s latest CD Aura is
a prime example of the groups
unique blend of sticky lyrics
and soft rock. In one word, |
found this CD nothing short of
impressive, and | would rec-
ommend it to anyone.
