This album takes influence from all over the world making it a truely universal electronica/dance album. Sometimes you have to let the track run through to the 1:30 - 2:30 minute mark in order for it to really kick up and make an impression. It has been posted on other blog's but if it has still managed to pass you by then here is another chance.
