专辑介绍：
这一来自黎巴嫩的专辑，可谓是新东方音乐的顶级收藏，运用传统的中东乐器之外还融入了电子声效及现代Lounge Music（沙龙音乐）、deep house等音乐元素。R.E.G. Project在黎巴嫩、UAE（阿拉伯联合酋长国）以及海湾国家沿岸各州的演出很成功，他们——Ralph，Elie & Guy会走到一起源于2001年末Guy Barbar在贝鲁特一家饭店的现场演出，Ralph Khoury当时是该饭店的常驻DJ，听过Guy Barbar的演奏后便邀请他联同自己的好友制片人/DJ Guy Manoukian三个人共同录制唱片。他们的首张同名专辑即高居黎巴嫩排行榜达三个月之久，并交由EMI（百代唱片）环球频道进行联播，因此就有人提议将销售市场扩展到欧美的广大中东群落，造就了现有的一切。这张音乐很棒，优美多姿的开篇两首“Free At Last”和“Lost Love”携来了浓浓的传统中东风味，再而到“Harem”、“Peace”与“Casa Del Sol”融合了lounge和deep house两种风格（往往同时出现在同一首曲子里）浑然自成的独特声韵。其中还有拉丁和桑巴音乐元素，特别是“Zay Al Hawa”甚至掺揉了喃喃水声。音轨的划分总是在前一曲刚转入后一曲的时候，所以整体上让人觉得相当狂热、富有动感的同时又得以身心放松。以专辑的高水准与Guy、Ralph的背景（?）/极端的敏感性，这张作品属于世界音乐，并不包含任何恐怖罪恶等色彩。令人意外的发现是，漂亮的封面——日落时分贝鲁特港的绚丽风景图，以及一张深受爱乐人喜爱的附赠收藏（尤其你是个喜欢事情以downbeat-meets-world风格结束的人），感觉就像通过一种神奇的方法，将你的沙发幻入黎巴嫩的一家沙龙酒吧，只用了电灯切换或者点燃水烟管那样的一瞬间。专辑甚至请到了极负盛名的Buddha-Bar编曲家与法国downbeat领袖Claude Challe的倾力加盟。强力推荐！
Buddha-Bar 电音大神 Claude Challe 出生在突尼斯，老爸是一个法师，三岁的时候他们举家迁到了巴黎。Claude Challe 是那种把自己文化融合的特点发挥得很出色的成功者，别人没有他那种底蕴。最早他在巴黎开了个美发沙龙，60年代甚至在法国美发比赛中得过冠军。1968年嬉皮运动把他卷到了撒丁岛的嬉皮公社，然后是印度，尼泊尔、印尼，当他回到巴黎的时候，他把这种东西文化的融汇贯成功的运用到时尚界，参与时尚品牌、夜店甚至唱片公司。
A great collection of so-called new Oriental music out of Lebanon mixing traditional Middle Eastern instruments with digital production techniques and the influence of modern lounge music and deep house. Already a huge hit in Lebanon, the UAE and many of the Gulf States, the R.E.G. Project - Ralph, Elie & Guy - came together through Guy Barbar doing a live show in a Beirut restaurant in late 2001 where Ralph Khoury, the resident DJ, heard him and suggested they do some tracks together with Ralph's friend and producer/DJ Guy Manoukian. Their self-titled debut LP topped the charts in Lebanon for over three months, and a hook-up with EMI worldwide and someone in there having some savvy ideas about marketing it to the huge Middle Eastern community of Europe and the US have lead to this. The sound itself is great, swinging from the opening two tracks "Free At Last" and "Lost Love" with their traditional Middle Eastern feel, onto tracks like "Harem", "Peace" and "Casa Del Sol" which mix lounge and deep house stylings (often within the same track) to come up with a unique sound. There's even Latin and samba sounds in there, notably "Zay Al Hawa" which muddy the waters even more. The tracks are cut to run into one another as well, so the overall sensation is quite frenetic and kinetic but relaxing at the same time. It's world music but without the horrid pikey connotations due to its high production standard and Guy and Ralph's dancefloor/chill-out sensibilities. A great find, beautifully packaged with a gorgeous picture of Beirut at sunset, and an enjoyable addition to any music lover's collection (especially if you enjoy the downbeat-meets-world end of things), as well as a fantastic way to turn your lounge into a Lebanese lounge bar at the flick of a switch and the lighting of a hookah. Even gets the almighty thumbs up and push from renown Buddha-Bar compiler and French downbeat guru Claude Challe. Recommended.
