Middle Easter Influence

I've recently grown very fond of the sound used in many songs from that general region. I know saeed and palash use some of them in mixes. Please post trance songs with this type of genre in it, thanks in advance.

I also enjoy tracks with a Middle Eastern sound

Orkidea - Unity
Art of Trance vs POB - Turkish Bizarre
Ofra Haza - Love Song (M.I.K.E. vs Zigi Remix)
Electric Universe - The Prayer
Altitude - Marrakech
Astrix - Life system
Conjure One - Damascus

Enjoy!

P.S. These two tracks might be what you are after too but I am just writing from memory. I will have to listen to them again to be sure....

Union Jack - Two Full Moons & A Trout
Way Out West - Killa

Killa is more Tribal than Middle Eastern, but still one hell of a choon.

Eric Entrena - Arabian Nights is a brilliant slice of chunky prog, and I think it'll do you rather well if you want something a bit Eastern.

eheh.Armin could do a better job with that edit.

Btw the melody of Twelve comes from the Passion of The Christ movie.
Now back to the topic:
Other tracks I would recommend:Many stuff from Delerium and Enigma (more ambient though).Also stuff from the progressive psy could work for u .stuff like Ethnoscope - Sunrise , Andromeda Temptations - Temptation (remix on a Delerium's track from the karma album)

Spellbound - Heaven On Earth (Eddy Fingers Easter Island Mix)
Chris & James - Ying & Yang

Sultan & the Greek - Wadi

More of a 'desert' feel than specifically middle-eastern.

karma - ganesha (fade remix)
paris & sharp - aphrodite (marcello castelli mixes)

Juno Reactor I know has some really cool, middle eastern and indian influenced stuff, especially on the CD "Bible of Dreams".

Posted by RebeL9 on Oct-30-2005 16:47:

don't mix eastern asia with middle east. its not the same. middle eastern sound = arabic influenced sound. while eastern asia sound = chineese and japaneese influenced sound.
this is a common mistake lots of people make.

i will return with loads of middle eastern sounding tunes soon. just gotta go to the gym now.

Posted by montana on Oct-30-2005 16:51:

God is god is genius tho, taking an arabic rhythm, adding a slow psy groove under it but making it sound like belgian new beat and adding natacha atlas to sing some lines in arabic

Posted by Shade on Oct-30-2005 18:00:

Darren Tate - Prayer For A God
Robert Gitelman - Children Of The Sun, As You Wish (and pretty much every song he releases)

I understand, I know there is a difference. Juno Reactor combines various cultures, even in one album. "Bible Of Dreams" had a mixture of Indian (like goa, Indian chants, drums etc) with Middle Eastern/Arabic sounding percussion and chants as well. Kind of a mixture of the two. Juno Reactor also combined Goa trance and Industrial music with Native American chants and percussion in "Shango". The music he makes is really a fusion of a lot of stuff and thats what makes it so cool.

I too like the asian-style vocals in trance songs, although I cant think of any off the top of my head.

EDIT: Ooh, try CM - Dream Universe (Tilt's Eastern Storm Remix)

There's not that much in terms of vocals, but they fit the song well. And it's got some chinese-sounding flute type melody in too.
