I doubt that most of you have ever heard this one before..Do you remember Raja Ram ?He was playing flute in a jazz/indie band at the 70s.I think that their name is Quintessence(Propably i wrote that wrong).Nowadays he is known as one of the first psychedelic / trance djs.Incredible change for a musician right?There is an album that might interest you though.It's called ''Nothing lasts but nothing is lost'' and the project's name is Shpongle.It's a collaboration between Simon Postford (another producer,composer,dj)and R.J..Raja Ram plays flute again and everything works great even though the music is more into Ambient/dub.But all music lovers should check this one.It has oriental/latin/acid jazz/chill out influences and there are many instruments and guests too.The other albums are different but this one is great ....Check http://www.shpongle.com - www.shpongle.com for more information.You won't be dissapointed.I think that there are some samples too...Tell me your opinion just don't write bad words

I ordered two of their albums ... They're fantastic!

BTW: They're not just a project, as far as I know they released at least three albums.
