^ I took your advice, Oneg Shemesh, and wasn't disappointed:-



Welcome to MB, and thanks for the recommendation.

Here're a couple of instrumental tracks by another Israeli artist. The first track has a nice piano interlude, and in the other Yossi Sassi injects Middle-Eastern music with a huge dose of rock. Enjoy!

Lately I've been wanting to find more Iranian folk music and middle eastern post-punk, but have not found too much yet. I like all the songs you posted though, Lisna.

Well, someone on here posted some soothing Persian classical music, Chiomara. I'll let you know if I find that again, or some folk from Iran. As for "middle-eastern post-punk", I'd have to find out what post-punk is first!

I like all your clips, but thought that this one was outstanding. Thanks!
The video is really good too - I imagine it's from a movie isn't it?

Have you heard Odyshape by The Raincoats? While The Raincoats themselves were british, that album kinda has a middle eastern vibe.

Oh, yes I'm assuming it is from a movie though I'm not 100% sure.

Regarding post-punk, this thread seems like it would be a good place to start! http://www.musicbanter.com/punk/6429...punk-week.html

Not in recent years I haven't, no, but maybe I'll have to listen again. Usually I just put on Dead Can Dance when I'm wanting that particular pseudo middle eastern vibe.
