moonson Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Just thought it might be nice to also have an EASTERN sounding comp album of LZ stuff. here´s my suggestions: Black Mountain Side (Tabla & modal guitar tuning) Friends (indian version) Four Sticks (indian version) Kashmir In the Light (eastern drone, sarangi [indian violin] - like keys, majestic riff) Achilles Last Stand (Greece has alyways been a region where eastern & western culture meet) In the Evening - what else ? ------------------------------------------- would´ve loved to see Jones & Bonham work Yallah! (The Truth Explodes) or Most High. There are lots of more eastern tunes on individual solo albums if u need to fill gaps: JP: Lucifer Rising Soundtrack JPJ: Goose, Tidal and some on the Sporting Life album (with Diamanda Galas) RP: Slow Dancer, Calling to you or Wreckless Love.

Ringwraith Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 A Qawwali version of Kashmir. Plant's singing is heavily influenced by the sufi singers on kashmir. Bhangra cover of misty mountain hop. Thats a punjabi genre, thats kind of like R and B. substitute Dhols for drums but keep the keyboard riff. Dhols for whole lotta love as well. again, plant sounds like a sufi singer in that. listen to some music by nusrat fateh ali khan, that'll give you an idea of what sufism is about. Sitar in battle of evermore and stairway. you could even do the solo with a sitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringwraith Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Good luck on your project. Hope you'll find somebody to play sitar. Dhol would be easy for any percussionist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solar Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I opened this thinking it would be news on the '71 Japan tour tapes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it would be a LOT of fun to mash up some Dhols with Bonzo´s Montreux! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to disappoint you, but i think there are no legal recordings of the 72 bombay sessions out. but if u know s.o who knows so.o it should not be a big problem to find and download these recordings on the net. The webmasterd here do not allow to post links for these downloads, so u gotta help yourself, GOOGLE. but don´t be too excited about these sessions - it´s more like rehearsals. The Battle of Evermore with british -asian singer Najma Aktar was from the Unledded project in 1994, also in the video. nice to hear that nusrat's got some fans on this forum Nusrat was the man, still is! saw him live on a festival in the late 80s and then comletely forgot about it until in the late 90s there was a remix album on real world records. gotta love his work!
