You're welcome, but Tull has nothing on Peter Gabriel! "The Feeling Begins" from the Last Temptation soundtrack.

Consider the Source incorporates Middle Eastern scales into their brand of eclectic prog.

There's a Neo-Prog band from Bahrain called Osiris. They only have a little Middle Easter feel on the first album (the only one I've heard) but maybe more on some of their others(?). Anyway, cool to have a really good band from the heart of the Middle East! |

Hey for all those who suggested AREA (one of my favorite bands of all time), most of their ethnic sounds came from Balkan gypsy flavors not Middle Eastern but i guess there is some crossover since the Balkans were a crossroads of sort. The prog metal BAK who is on PA was basically mixed black album era Metallica with Middle Eastern flavors Entire album SCULPTURE Prog metal band AMASEFFER mixes Israeli folk music with metal. Here's the album Slaves For Life. While not on PA, some consider the tech death metal band NILE progressive. They incorporate lots of ancient Egyptian musical scales and instruments into their brutal death metal. Here's an old thread that brings up the same topic and has a few suggestions of artists i've never heard of. |

Also MELECHESH mixed black metal, folk metal and prog with Arabic folk music and MR BUNGLE had a few tracks which inspired the Secret Chiefs 3 project |

^ that's also primarily Balkan folk music but i just looked up what exactly the parameters of Middle Eastern music includes and it turns out Balkan folk is a branch! So too is Armenian (such as Zartang), Persian, Kurdish and all the other ethnic music styles that evolved from the same parent stock. So if Balkan music (such as Area and Charming Hostess) are permissible then so is FARMERS MARKET BTW, this is an excellent idea for a thread! I have always loved Middle Eastern and Balkan flavors in music especially prog and metal so i decided to make a list on RYM about it! Please keep any suggestions rolling!

Probably doesn't need saying, but if course the specific Area track I posted starts off with Arabic speech. |

^ The only musical scales I know well involve the sound of me thumping a bass (a bass as in fish scales, not involving a bass guitar).

Most of the stuff I've come across that are worth while were Psychedelic Rock or Jazz Some Psych Rock: Sunn Trio - Fayrus Blaak Heat - The Arabian Fuzz EP & Shifting Mirrors Al Doum & The Faryds - Positive Force Some Jazzy stuff: Embryo - Embryo's Reise & Ibn Battuta Station One - Quartet Diminished Yazz Ahmed - Polyhymnia Naissam Jalal - Almot Wala Almazala Elias Nardi - Orange Tree Eyvind Kang - Alastor (Book of Angels, Volume 21) Does Azerbaijan count? If so, Vagif Mustafa Zadeh - Themes Of Tofik Kuliev Some weird/experimental stuff: Johnny Kafta Anti-Vegetarian Orchestra - s/t The Dwarfs Of East Agouza - Bes

Great song! But dude that's Indian (as in raga influenced) rather than Middle Eastern

According to a Persian friend, the slower build up sections are Arabic with the billistic middle section being raga for Rajan Khan. For the first song I haven't a clue but I think the OP will like it. So just feel half embarrassed.
