Skorba: Ħaġar Qim: Temples of Devotion
It's finally arrived folks. This long awaited CD is dedicated to the magnificent Neolithic Temples of Malta. It is a CD that is unique since it consists of what has been described by The Maltese Herald as 'Ancient Music of Malta'. This CD has fabulous compositions about the Temples and the Maltese Archipelago by John Robinson, Bertie McMahon and Andy Busuttil. Gorgeous tapestries of exotic strings, beautiful wind and vocals and striking percussion are woven for your pleasure. Now if you think THAT is waxing lyrical, wait until you hear the music. If you click on Ħaġar Qim or Merħba either one will give you the fully produced version.
Pulse of the Pyramids
The Pulse of the Pyramids come in 2 volumes. They are a zils, darabuka
and dance tutor. Each of them contains the following:
• a rhythm with accompanying lead zils or sagat,
• the same rhythm with lead darabuka
• and a tune or song taken from the Drum Arabic CD 'Hanina'
which demonstrates the use of the rhythm with accompanying music.
• There are accompanying notes that explain the rhythms and
some information on technique.
They've proven to be very popular with dancers wishing to teach their
students movements to various Middle Eastern rhythms and playing the
zils or sagat. They sell for $25 AUD each includes post and packaging.
A bit more for international customers. This works out at roughly
$10 US. Cheap eh?

Shekel and Hide: Shadows
Shekel and Hide is a band that formed after Drum Arabic ceased to
be. Shekel played a great blend of accessible Middle Eastern and Balkan
inspired music and wended its way into a more contemporary sound with
the 'Wog 'n Roll Show' exemplified by the sample 'Desert Music'. The
CD 'Shadows' reflects this mix. It's a great CD and has some great
tracks on it. $15AUD includes p & p anywhere in Australia. A little
bit more elsewhere in the world depending on postage. These are being
cleared out at ULTRA LOW COST!!! Get in quick for them. They're going
fast.
