Surely some of you must've heard balinese music!

It's goddamn incredible!
Those deep gongs resonates to your core, man! :)

Anyway, so does anyone have a recommendation of some
balinese music that makes you shiver - in delight?

Never heard it, never heard of it. But you sort of made me
curious about it.

It's mad, mate, when they raise the tempo of those ancient
drums, it feels as if you're about to pop.

I found a site where you can listen to some jegog.

Jegog
_____________________________________
"Huge bamboo tubes...some 10 feet long... were tuned to an
exotic Balinese scale. The musicians launched into an
amazing, rhythmic performance filled with an earthy,
resonant, rainbow of sound. I WAS HOOKED.
Jegog is some of the most uninhibited, raw village music
I've ever heard....Imagine 20 Hindu musical masters playing
bamboo xylophones of various sizes, wailing in the tropical
breeze on the mystical isle of Bali. Discover a celebration
of festive bamboo music with Jegog." - from the site

Ten feet long bamboo tubes ...
Now doesn't that sound inviting? :D

Gamelan pacifica is great!

"Peaches of Immortality" and "Gending Erhu" from the Trance
Gong-record are masterpieces.

Do you have anything in particular to recommend, tolstoyed?

Who is timor, by the way?

timor is part of indonesia i guess..try finding stuff from
these people; tari woleka (uses gongs as well), tarian gong,
tari likurai (the piece on this compilation is some tribal
drums).

i was at susie ibarra's gig past weekend, she uses the
kulintang gongs as well, so maybe try finding some of her
stuff..i think she has a few releases on tzadik.
