"Hypnotic, electronic loops in the background, beautifully placed/extremely well-played oud/violin/etc. on top... what more can you ask for? World peace maybe. But that's a bit of a stretch, innit. Heheheheh. Heh.
What you might call Middle Eastern Fusion. Or something. I don't know. It's bloody good, though."

"I went to the Viva La World concert in Central Park a couple years ago to see Natacha Atlas perform. Aside from her, I wasn't familiar with any of the other artists who performed. DuOud stood out to me- they have amazing sounds (mixing the more traditional sounds of the oud with electronic beats and sound effects). They really seemed to enjoy themselves on stage and playing their music. It's just two guys, their ouds, and a laptop with all the samples and background tracks in concert. I was very pleasantly surprised to find other exciting artists at this free concert in New York City. I don't actually have this album yet, but if you ever get a chance to see them live -- go!"
