I searched Youtube for a random Tuvan throat singing album and it destroys this Sleep album.
And Dopesmoker has more involved drumming than any of the genres I compared it to (with the possible except of ragas). So what? The point I'm making is about the mood of those genres and this album, not about what is or isn't complex about them.
