Greece - the Rough Guide to the Music of Greece - Various Artists

The Rough Guide to the Music of Greece is a fascinating compilation--far more than the ... more

mere aural accompaniment to a thousand sunlit
feasts of kebab and kleftiko (a word which
originally denoted a stately dance). But those
familiar sounds are there, in the voices of
Manolis Angelopoulos (Greece's most famous gypsy
singer) and Stelios Kazantzidis (who brought back
the Oriental influences which had been banned from
Greece in the 1930s). The point about Greek music
is that it has always reflected the confluence of
east and west, and this disc is full of such
echoes. We get the rembetika music which grew out
of drug dens in Thessaloniki, and the laiko urban
blues which the colonels banned in the 1970s; we
also get the bewitching sound of Womad-star
Eleftheria Arvanitaki, and the long-gone Arabic
delicacy of Kostas Nouros, "the nightingale of
Smyrna". George Pissalides' commentary is
illuminating, but it's a shame we're not given the
basic facts behind each song. It would be
wonderful to know the words to "the Greek Bob
Dylan" Dionisis Savopoulos's number, for example,
and the ideas injecting such sweetness into
Nouros's café-song. --Michael Church

Good Intro to the Traditional Sounds of South-Eastern Europe

Advantages: great selection, good variety
Disadvantages: somehow mistitled, mostly traditional stuff

Rough Guide, best known for their budget travel guides, has been steadily expanding in other areas, and has been responsible for quite a few musical "guides" over the years. This 1998 album, marketed as "Rough Guide to the Music of Eastern Europe", does pretty much exactly what is says on the package: provides quite a wide ranging overview of folk and (occasionally) folk-inspired music of Eastern Europe. This is an album that pretty much started my liking for "world music" coming from my part of the world, and despite its age it remains a good compilation which really does showcase the variety of what's on offer quite well. One thing that this "Rough Guide" album needs is perhaps a better definition of what is considered Eastern Europe: this is a surprisingly woolly category (I always remember somebody commenting than Poland ...

Review of Rough Guide To The Music Of Eastern Europe, The - Various Artists

Perfect Rough Guide for Backpackers and Travellers

Advantages: Lots of town and city maps, and site information.
Disadvantages: Bulky for a backpacker, not ideal if you are just staying in Athens.

I took this book with me with to Greece for three weeks of backpacking, and it returned, sandy and beaten and my faithful companion. As well as giving basic and helpful advice on on the culture and people of Greece, it was also very practical. It offers options for both people on a budget and those with a bit more cash. In my opinion it really brought my trip to Greece alive, as I could not afford to take lots of tours, it provided a lot of information about the historical sites I visited, which was vital as my tour was orientated around sites and museums. If you are only travelling to Athens, then a smaller city guide would be a better option however. Highly recommended for any traveller around Greece. ...

Review of The Rough Guide to Greece - The Rough Guide

Rough guide to pregnancy is a smooth read...

Advantages: Chatty, friendly style. Informative
Disadvantages: Not a technical 'manual'

terms of disadvantages, if you want an all-singing, all-dancing 'technical manual' with photos and diagrams, this isn't for you. I'd recommend The Rough Guide to Pregnancy and Birth highly and if you're about to join the Kid Club you'd be well served in picking up a copy. NB - I have reviewed the 2nd Edition, 2006. ...
