| Track by Track Review
|
 |
Arrival
Atmospheric keyboard elements are on display as some acoustic instrumentation weaves melody. |
|
Walk to Hotel
There is a mellow, world music vibe to this. It has a dramatic sense of foreboding in some ways, though. The overlain texture brings something special to it, too. |
|
Hotel Money Mystery
Trippy atmospherics mix with world music as this cut creates its textures. It's a pretty piece that seems a bit more developed than the previous two in some ways. |
|
Safar Sandara - Sher Alam Miskeen Ustad
World music singing and a hand drumming create the soundscape here. |
|
Meeting with the Colonel
While this is short and mellow, it's also very dramatic. |
|
Hotel at Night
This almost feels like a continuation of the previous piece. |
|
Hotel to Lakes
Synthesizer textures create some beauty and majesty on this number. World music brings a grounding element. |
|
Road to Kandahar
The electronics on this call to mind a mellow Synergy of some of the electronic edge of Alan Parsons. |
|
Dand Sandara - Sher Alam Miskeen Ustad
This is much like the earlier cut featuring the same person. This time there is some cowbell, though. It ends with a bit of jocularity. |
|
Roadblock
Dramatic synthesis is merged with world music sound on this cut. This is one of the longer pieces here, and the world music instrumentation really gets energized further down the road. |
|
Lost in the Desert
More dramatic and pretty sounds are on display here. This is mellow and so cool. It is mostly electronic, but there is some world music in the mix at times. The sedate, electronic section later really has some emotion packed into its beauty. |

Bonding at the Lakes - Sher Alam Miskeen Ustad & Sam Smith
There is world music singing along with instrumentation and more on this track. |

Largely electronic, this piece is dramatic, mellow and pretty. |
