I do hear similarities between the two. But I hear similarities among
lots of musics â from Steve Reich to "space music" to troubadour songs
in similar modes, and do not think it means direct contact or
transmission of the sort I think you are asserting.
I find the unique musical gestures of each more interest, and the
unique tone colors of the instruments used more important than
unifying features of mode or raga however illustrated.

Thank you Susan!
I am aware of Schenker - I studied musicology back in the day.
This would be indeed the best approach, but I guess it is possible
to
find the exact match when analyzing just what is there.
Indian understanding - as it appears to me - basically *is*
Schenkerian,
so I guess this step could be skipped.
What is your opinion about the Echo Fantasy?
