337b Unexpected Gamelan mix 2 - Popular Appearances




Part two, this time more pop and accessible music appearances of the Gamelan style or instruments.  Some really solid tunes in this mix.  Love the Sofa Surfers and this was a nice treat on their Encounters album.  The actual Gamelan track by Sekar Melati shocked me when I found it originally on YouTube; quite a well done interpretation of Gang of Four.  Never thought those two would cross paths.  Then the aforementioned Kim Hiorthoy track, which I came across via the Wire Tapper CDs.  A nice surprise from Bjork, this EP is work seeking out for the dramatically different versions of these early tracks.  I really prefer this remix of Banco de Gaia, its still trancey as is expected but this has more dynamics and flow to it than I come to expect of their body of work.   The rest are some similarly styled finds that round this out nicely.
