Ex guerilla's gone musicians, some of the weirdest blues you ever heard. See if you can find a song called 'Aldachan Manin', i've been playing it on repeat for about an hour now - what a fucking trip. :icon14: :icon14:

Listen to the Ihama - Kel Tin Lokiene sample on that site.
And try not to think of the Ewok music in ROTJ.

The friend who reccomended me this is planning to go to that festival next year - the weirdo :P

I might have to come with him, naturally we'll have to arm ourselves to the teeth.

That's trippy, it almost sounds like the Doors or something.

It's strange to hear middle-eastern music with a guitar.

guitars have been used in the mid east for a long time, afaik. They have their own guitar which is called "ood" or something.

Yea, I believe they use sitars quite a bit too. That instrument just sounded more like a normal solid-body electric guitar amped up, but I could be wrong.

At any rate, I haven't heard much music from that region at all, so I'm pretty ignorant about the styles and instruments that are popular. It just sounded different from the small amount that I have heard.

I liked it though. Too bad I can't understand the lyrics.

somebody thought the neck on that thing was made by Floyd Rose
