(4,305 posts)I didn't mind watching it multiple times. Once to read the lyrics, once to listen and watch the band members and finally, one so I could check out the scenery/rocks. I really like the sound.

(6,261 posts)I recognised the Mongolian throat singing as well, and that's what made me add the word 'Eclectic' to my subject line.
How strange, how strange.
Damn, these guys are good. It's so much not my music, but this is so raw, so fascinating to me. I'm reminded of the original Conan movie because of its rawness.

(21,646 posts)I saw supposedly (as if I would ever know it) one of the best throat singers that tours US . He could sing two vibrational sounds at once they can go high in pitch also (adenoids singing?)
Interesting the insight by lyrics in to their world
Why did valuable ethics of the ancestors become worthless? Traitors ...Blindly declaring only mongols are the best ... sounds unfortunately like they are dealing with Asian deplorables
Thanks for the music and lyrics
