dont have an answer to your question, but i do have a follow up question [sort of..]

how on earth did you get exposed to this kind of music?
i remember seeing mention of it on some arty-farty tv-show here in holland about two months ago, but none of the songs i heard on that short [aprox. 20 minutes] documantery could really grab my intention.

i'm asking because i sometimes find it funny where and how i sometimes find out about a musician or a musical style, in a somewhat unlikely place, and i'm just curious about other peoples experiences. [or is this the wrong forum to ask questions like this and should i just register for the ol messageboard?]

most unlikely place/situation i've discovered new music was watching rip curl surfvideo's. usually surf video's are dominated by punk rock รก la korn and others, but rip curl's 'the search' had some mutabaruka, some indonesian sounds, and some music by tom curren that i really enjoyed.
