"If you were being perversely optimistic, you might argue that one positive result of the catastrophic situation in Iraq is that so many of its fine musicians are now living abroad and sharing their country's rich culture with the rest of us. The singer and Oud (lute) player M Nafee Mohammed has found his way to Edinburgh, from where he tours all over Scotland and leads The Babylon Arabic Band. The other members of the group are local performers who have studied Middle Eastern music, and their first recording features a good selection of Oriental traditional favourites. Mohammed has a fine voice and the other musicians especially percussionist Chas Whitaker play with a balanced sense of authentic style. At the same time the performances are pretty four-square and rarely venture beyond the basic rendition of the tune : though things do start to move more freely on Il Bulbul; when Maren Lueg's sax playing bounces around the melody. The relative simplicity of the performances would make this a good choice for learning your first bellydance steps to, or transcribing some well known Arab tunes to play along with ." - Bill Badley - SONGLINES World Music Magazine Issue 47 Nov. 2007.
