As all of the other entries in the Rough Guide series so admirably do, this 15-track collection of album tracks and previously unreleased field recordings, ancient and modern sounds alike, serves as a fascinating introduction to the breadth of Iran's musical landscape. Not surprisingly though, Iran, both in its cosmopolitan city of Tehran and throughout the rest of the country, hosts a diverse range of traditional and modern artists, as well as many who fuse the two into a new whole. Compounding that false notion is that not much indigenous Iranian music has been allowed to escape, to be heard and appreciated in the West. As compiler Simon Broughton acknowledges at the outset of his liner notes, the images of Iran received on the outside, particularly in the West, tend to give an impression that this complex country is populated entirely by religious zealots who would suppress any creative expression. It's virtually impossible to consider the state of contemporary Iranian music without taking into account the country's contentious political relationship with the rest of the world.

Setia Menuggu (Main Chali Main) - Zaleha Hamid What remains apparent is that Malaysia has a strong identity that's more than the sum of its parts, while still retaining its various ethnic characteristics. The diversity is quite spectacular, and it's easy to trace influences in the music: the Zapin rhythm, for example, featured on "Burung Burung Ayam" is simply a softer version of Arabic Zapin. There's also creativity and originality (still rooted in the tradition) from "Salih Yacoub," and a mix of Indian ghazal and Middle Eastern rhythms on "Ghazal Masri" from Mari Menari. There's vintage Malay pop/rock from Fredo & the Flybaits, which is deliciously cheesy. However, that's only one facet of the music. There's Sandii, one of the country's biggest stars (who's actually Japanese), who turns in a glowing performance on "Cinta Hampa." But she's just one of several outstanding female singers on this disc, like Siti Nurhaliza and Noraniza Idris. That cultural grab bag is apparent in the country's music, at least if this Rough Guide to the Music of Malaysia is anything by which to judge. There's Malaya, Chinese, South Asian, and a mixed bag of others, with Islam being the reigning religion. With four different racial categories, Malaysia is a confluence of cultures.
