[Thor Joachim Haga]

ARARAT is a nice score as well and his NATIVITY STORY is one of my favorite “Christmas albums” 😉
He does not only do nice Middle Eastern sounds. His KAMA SUTRA has lots of Indian and with his brother Jeff he did two concept albums with Celtic sounds that I somehow dig.

Oh yes, lots of different ethnic modes in his work, for Egoyan, Ang Lee and beyond. ARARAT and NATIVITY STORY are among my favs too. Others include EXOTICA (one of my favourite films as well!), THE ICE STORM, THE SWEET HEREAFTER, LIFE OF PI, ALIAS GRACE and WATER, which he did with A.R. Rahman.

I am currently listening to the 4CD set EL HOMBRE Y LA TIERRA by Anton Garcia Abril.

I remember I got this as a digital promo years ago. I liked quite a few of the tracks, others not so much, but as you say, it was overwhelmingly long. And I never set aside time to create a whittled playlist. Be sure to let us know if you come up with one.
