have you traced trad gras och stenar back through international harvester, harvester, and parson sound? i'm definitely in the camp of older is better.

also maybe look into nnck or sunburned in the 2003-2004 window. heavily influenced by that same sound.

In this vein: Vibracathedral Orchestra. I'd list personal recommendations but Julian Cope pretty much nailed it already: http://www.headheritage.co.uk/unsung/al ... emonth/734

there's a new questionably legal pandit pran nath record in circulation. terrible name, awesome music. it's earth groove - the voice of cosmic india. but new age it is not.

Maybe a boot of a real old release:

Douglas International Records, New York, N.Y., 1968. Earth Groove; Side 1: Raga Bhupali, "Maha Dev"; Side 2: Raga Asavari. Pandit Pran Nath, voice; Shyam Bhatnagar, tambura; tabla.

I think I have a copy somewhere around here.

yeah ive checked out the (int'l) harvester & parson sound stuff

parson sounds got some a few cool raga-esque songs that i dug, & im sure im in the minority on this, but i dont feel like any of that stuff is as good as the trad gras och stenar ive heard

ill check out a lot of these other recc's though
