This was my favorite of the punk songs you posted, Swink: I'll have to look up more by Niet. Wikipedia says the group revived in 2008 after more than 10 years of not playing. I'm curious what Niet's music is like now. If I find out more, I'll post in the ex-Yugoslavian music thread.

I listened to the two songs you posted...but during the first one I was distracted by this thought, "Wow! That woman sure looks Norwegian!!! And she's floating." I can't remember much about the song, now, but I can remember her face and blond, blond hair!

It's mixture of african, celtic and electronic music. Sometimes instrumental, sometimes with singing in english and some african language. I think it's cool music and I am curious to see them live.

Interesting mixture of sounds...the African and celtic, Petula. I don't usually like music with a definite dance beat, but the first song kind of grew on me a little because of the building momentum and intricate sounds.
