Wow, I just treated myself to two awesome albums. Tritonus by Corvus Corax is German music from the middle ages that sounds like tribal celtic rock, while Ver Tanzt by Black Ox Orkestar is Jewish music from Canada that sounds like traditional music from Central Europe and possibly Turkey. Both are strongly evocative and deeply original, and both were found through the random yet structured discovery process I'll have to explain at some point. Manufactured serendipity, as Jon Udell puts it, works wonders to enlarge one's musical horizons, but it's work.
