    They actually filed this as world music which is a relief because it is in no way concert music. Folkways is a wonderful label but one has to questing their motives by taking this schlock and having the gall to call it "Music of Central Asia". this is fairly tame watered down renditions of what is actually played there in the actual folk traditions. I'm pretty sure that the string quartet wasn't invented there so why the Kronos was invited to ride shotgun is beyond me. No doubt the yogurt infused yuppie's out there who's idea of folk music is listening to DMB covers at their local farmers market will be hip to get this and play it at their parties. -Bz
