open and hear yourself
This music is to be used to open yourself inwards. Yes, as some reveiwers have noted it is repetitious. It is simple and allows for a quieting of the mind. It is not designed to entertain but to provide an avenue for glimpsing the depth within. But it must be listened to as a meditation. I very much appreciated this funnel inward so to speak and use it in the early morning as the sun arrives. If the other makams become available let me know and I will love to have them.

More than just music.
This is a new order of music for most of us. The main instrument that is sounded is the human soul, and the harmonies are those that lead us to our next initiation.

Hmmm... not too creative
I was hoping that this would be some calming, middle eastern, spiritual music...well it was calming I guess, but boy is it monotonous (literally). It's the same tune over and over and over and over and over (didn't it annoy you to have to read "over and over..."? Well that's how I felt after listening to the CD)

It's well known that repetitive sounds are soothing to the mind, so I guess in that sense you are getting "repetitive sounds". But you might as well just leave your kitchen faucet on all night if that's what you're looking for, rather than paying for a CD.

I have to admit that the CD relaxed me into a deep sleep for the first 2 or 3 nights, but that effect just wore out from there on.

The last thing I want to mention as that when I say repetitive "sounds", the sounds I'm referring to are two: that od and the water pouring in the background. Sometimes he throws in his voice. But I think anyone who took basic music in grade school could learn this piece in an hour.
