Hi, I was wondering if anyone could provide some suggestions for some Mid-, Near- Eastern music. I draw toward darker artists, albums, moods much more than lighter; those that hold thunder and night in them. I seem to come across a lot of metal and neoclassical -not a great fan of either- when searching. Also, not too fond of new age or ambient, electronica or "worldbeat", most I've heard makes me cringe- too plastic and inauthentic- but I love Niyaz. I suppose like anything, if it is done well it transcends. So, traditional or modern(without too much sticky gloss). Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks very much.
Adam
