I found this world music group over here at Splinters and Candy. These guys have a record coming out called Road Poem, but this record is up on MOG. I’m a fan of the oud — I dig the way it sounds and the contrast between the stringiness of the oud and the resonance of the frame drums is interesting. This is not party music, it’s headphone music or hookah music. If you are a fan of Indian classical music, this is similar. A bit less ecstatic, but heavy nonetheless. I’m gonna check this record out more when I have time.
