"RUDET HATE"(???)
one of the more exotic selections hanging around the peacefork head office. it's music from indonesia. i found it on this guy's blog which is a really cool blog, i suggest you check it out. in many ways, this music couldn't be farther removed from what we're used to hearing in north america. especially timbrally.
the songs feature some sort of melodic instrument and a female singer. the percussion in the background reminds me of a gamelan orchestra, with a low gong that sounds like a sub bass chiming in every couple dozen seconds. there seem to be two male background vocalists (maybe two of the musicians?) who yell rhythmic chants every now and then. all of the songs have a sort of frenetic energy... they'll be grooving along, and then the singer will have an ejaculatory outburst that will be matched by the percussion. there are also very cool pushings and pullings of the tempo. tasty syncopations, grooves that beg for grimey dancing to.
not for the faint of heart but very rewarding listening
