Mixing

[kjpepper]

So I've spent the majority of my morning catching up on all the mix work I'd been promising folx for a while, and finally came around to working on the two themes I'd been playing with. Unfortunately I'm running a little short on the current one I'm messing with - Arabian Nights. So far I've included some Shakira, Tarkan, a couple of things off the 5th element soundtrack, a couple of things off the cowboy bebop soundtrack, and a bunch of dead can dance, but I'm well short of a full CD. Can anyone recommend any arabic pop songs or even normal pop songs with an arabic sound to them? thanks.

Arabic techno is pretty neat stuff...

XTC - Green Man. (it's sort of Arabian sounding)

There's Desert Rose by Sting, especially the techno remix. And also Tunak Tunak Tun by Daler Mehndi which I put in my Humor directory for its sheer goofiness. Try Kazaaing for the music video too ^^

Yes, my favorite!

Check out Natacha Atlas, Transglobal Underground, and Amina. I don't know if you are open to downloading mp3s, but I've found some of their stuff on mp3. I have purchased most of it on CD at this point though. I love the Natacha Atlas version of "I put a spell on you." and Amina's "Lirrili" - well, anything by either of them is awesome. Also look for Cheb Mami. He did that Desert Rose song with Sting.

The Harem release by Sarah Brightman has some arabic sounding stuff.

Hmmm....

How about Delirium's "Lamentation"? It's really cool. You can hear it here: http://www.genocide1915.info/ .

I guess you won't have heard of it, but look out for "Kiss Kiss" by Holly Valance. Stupid English pop but it has a whole cool Arabian thing going on too.
