But really, once you develop a taste for it, this Mongolian throat-singing is great. Not only do these guys harmonize with each other, but the individual singers harmonize WITH THEMSELVES by singing two or more notes simultaneously. There's a lot of variety on this album, too. Besides straight-up throat-singing and what I would take to be traditional-type Mongolian folk songs, Hanggai is experimenting with other kinds of music here . "Uruumdush" rocks out in a Mongolian industrial way. "Daya" is a beautiful ballad about, well, something. "Zhang Dan" sounds like Mongolian bluegrass. They're taking chances so why don't you take a chance on them?
