Synopsis
A CD consumer guide series offering readers the opportunity to expand their musical horizons. Each book contains a section on musical "linkages" - connecting artists with others employing similar performance and musical styles. This volume focuses on the many musical styles known collectively as World Music, by artists from Algeria, Bulgaria, Brazil, Spain, Scotland and Pakistan. Artists biographies and career highlights are included plus cross-reference of each CD to a recording of similar appeal.

This is a handy guide, but it has its limitations if you want to go deeply into any one category. For example, with Brazilian music you should also purchase the book "The Brazilian Sound," with its 1,000-CD discography of Brazilian albums.

How can anyone give an inclusive and insightful overview of world music? Well, this book comes close. Information is easy to access, a pleasure to read, and I appreciated the effort to suggest works by other artists similar to the one being reviewed. He leaves out one of my favorite groups, Mouth Music, but he more than makes up for it by introducing me to many new artists that I am dying to sample. I also checked out his reviews of works I already own, and found by and large I could agree with his comments. I highly recommend this book.

Shoddy and Uninformative
14. Dezember 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
Hands down, this is one of the worst books on "World Music" that I've ever come across. It's superficial, shallow and reveals a serious bias towards the American consumerist mentality. By focusing on the "best" CDs by certain artists, the author only focuses on what's available in CD form and often misses key recordings in many of the genres that he attempts to cover. Even the coverage of his selected CDs lacks depth and is perfuctory at best - it reads more like a slick attempt to cash in on the World Music boom than anything else. "The Rough Guide to World Music" is a far superior and authoritative World Music Text. This one is an embarassment.

Skimpy and Poorly Done
19. Februar 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
This slim little book is not very useful except for absolute beginners. It really only skims the surface of this topic without going into any meaningful detail about the artists or their context(s). I would recommend either The Rough Guide to World Music or The Musichound Guide to World Music instead. Both go much deeper than a mere list of albums to buy. Overall, this seems like the work of an enthusiast who took a walk through a record store than serious scholarly writing by a professional.
Weak and Outdated
8. Dezember 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
This is one of the weakest books on World Music that I've ever come across - it's shallow, poorly sourced and woefully outdated. It really feels like a quickie attempt to cash in on the now-faded world music boom, rather than a serious work on the topic. The Rough Guide to World Music is much, much better. Avoid this at all costs.
