A nice amount of variety on this one. Of course, there is klezmer influence, but it is blended with Arabic bellydance music, South Asian folk music, jazz, and more. A cornucopia of cool instruments are used, too (oud, gimbri, kamel n'goni, pump organ). At its best, Caym is a roaring, spirited (pun intended) listen ("Tzar Tek," "Yahel," "Phaleg"). At its worst, it's boring ("Tahariel"). The good outweighs the bad, though. A good addition to the Book of Angels series.
