Asian Influenced Music

I realize this is a bit of a stretch under the "Electronic" music catergory, but anyways, I'm looking for dramatic music that would be fitting to a movie or tv show, but music that has Asian type sounds/ influence. Thanks.

Sasha - Minimal, Animal and Vegetable Qat (three seperate tracks, all from the Qat Collection). Long, elaborate prog house drenched in Middle-Eastern sounds. Vegetable is by far the best.

You can't go wrong with Juno Reactor either. And moving away from trance there's practically all ethno bollocks, such as Engima or Banco De Gaia. If you want cinematic stuff you cannot beat Enigma's Cross of Changes. (Note: while most ethno-bollocks acts are indeed bollocks, these two are very good).

I'll say it again: East Asian trance is the great untapped goldmine. People are constantly asking for it, but no one makes it.

Yeah, not really looking for tance though, need something for a movie/tv show and personally I find Enigma too cheesy.

Talvin Singh?
Nitin Sawhney?

Looking for something with more of a Chinese or Japanese flavor than those two.

Bogart & Gable - Year Of The Dragon

Try Vangelis' 1979 album "China". In particular the tracks Chung Kuo, The Tao of Love and Himalaya.

I would say check out Karsh Kale, MIDIval Punditz, Anoushka Shankar's new album Rise is good. DJ Cheb i Sabbah.. and mentioned above Nitin Sawhney and Talvin Singh are big on the scene as well. I would recommend looking at IndianElectronica as well as EthnoTechno for a whole load of artists with Asian influences..

Antiband - Fuckin Rock 'n' Roll

the break down on this track sounds like it is very strongly influenced by a Chinese cultural music sound.

Also one of my personal all time favs.
