Hi, I was wondering if anyone could provide some suggestions for some Mid-, Near- Eastern music. I draw toward darker artists, albums, moods much more than lighter; those that hold thunder and night in them. I seem to come across a lot of metal and neoclassical -not a great fan of either- when searching. Also, not too fond of new age or ambient, electronica or "worldbeat", most I've heard makes me cringe- too plastic and inauthentic- but I love Niyaz. I suppose like anything, if it is done well it transcends. So, traditional or modern(without too much sticky gloss). Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks very much. Adam

Please recommend some NEW dark, sweaty Arabic music!

Rachid Taha, Diwan 2. I'm not sure it's ''dark,'' but its raw and passionate (and great).
