It's very hard to avoid flaming after such an ignorant comment. Enya is a Celt, Azam Ali a Persian, and their works come from their different cultural and musical traditions. Other than being women singers, they've got f*ck-all to do with each other. The idea of Azam Ali ripping off Enya is just bonkers.

That you don't like either is fine - no shame on you. That you conflate them is shamefully ignorant.

 
Ok... Hows this

Its an Enya ripoff because they both SUCK!

Who cares about the origin or tradition.

Likeable music.  Exotic and hypnotic.  I have no idea what the lyrics say, but that's okay.  Great variety, RP!

Sweet,
I haven't seen one of those pain scales since I visited the chiropractor 20 years ago.

I don't see why - Azam Ali left Iran as a young girl, and now lives in the USA. See her Wikipedia page. I'd lay pretty heavy odds that the theocracy would loathe her, though the people probably bop like crazy to her music. This is a terrific album, not a duff track on it, both exotic and, in parts, erotic. Highly recommended.

... a burned CD-R with Thievery Corporation, Afro-Celt Sound System, maybe some John Mayer to mix it up. 

To each their own and all, but me and the missus'll stick with "Honky Tonk Women" on repeat...

As criticisms go, that's, well, "boring and predictable". The vast majority of music falls into the "predictable" category, from Mozart onwards. You want unpredictable, go for Stockhausen or The Prodigy. Boring, of course, is your own view and fair play to you, but as insults go, "predictable" is in the same category as "derivative" and just as meaningless.
 
Thanks for answering that much more sensibly and eloquently than I could have, Fred.  If you ever find yourself in central Ontario, I'll buy you a beer.

I bought this album on the strength of this and another Azam Ali song played here, and I can strongly recommend it. It sounds so much 'bigger' on a proper stereo system rather than on PC headphones with 128kbps MP3. Stunning.
 
Thanks for the recommendation. I may have to open the wallet again.
