    really incredible album. the silk road project has something to do with traveling around and finding artists. i haven't read up on it, it is just what i've been told.

    there are some crazy musicians on this one.

    I just got that myself. It truly is awesome. I like how in the liner notes they illustrate what each instrument looks like. I like the morin khur.

    i read about it a few months back in the Smithsonian magazine....one of the best subscriptions we've ever had.

    you should check it out patty. maybe. i dunno. sometimes your musical taste is befuddling.

    sometimes your politics are befuddling. (good word)

    no, it looks completely fucking interesting.

    im bored with my traditional hankerins so im on the lookout for new music.

    My mom owns a duduk. (A double reed instrument listed on the Silk Road website that sounds like a quietly dying duck.) She bought it, along with another instrument called a "zirnah," when we went to Armenia in 1985. If you want to hear some really cool duduk music get the "Gladiator" soundtrack.

    I am listening to Debussy's "La Mer" and it's pretty damn fantastic. This disc also has Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an exhibition" and Ravel's "Bolero" on it.

    I went to the Silk Road festival in DC last year! I'll have to find that album.
