I'm looking for a good sampler of Middle Eastern music on cd. You know, sitar and that type of thing. I find that music haunting, but I don't know what to buy. Anybody have a recommendation?

Dead Can Dance use a lot of different instruments sounding Middle Eastern-ish, and vocalist Lisa Gerrard has a hauntingly beautiful voice. There are several tracks on Spritchaser, Into the Labyrinth, and Toward the Within you might like.

Loreena McKennitt uses a lot of middle eastern influences in her music and blends it with Celtic. Check out her songs The Mystics Dream, Marrakesh Night Market, Marco Polo etc.
You can hear free 30 second samples on her website www.quinlanroad.com just click explore the music look for The Mask and the Mirror and Book of Secrets.

Sorry, after 9/11 I do not like anything about the Middle-East. And BTW Sitar is associated with music from India, not the Middle East. If you like sitar music look for CDs under Ravi Shankar. All his Cds are brilliant.
