Oriental Music

[speed]

I would grealty appreciate anyone that can recommend me some good quality oriental music( uninfluenced by the west- and or oriental music mixed with western music)- its the one form of music that I have never really experienced in any capacity. any suggestions are welcome

Only band I can think of is Kitaro and I'm not sure if they were influenced by the West or not. Check 'em out and see if that's what you're looking for.

I meant Eastern music- I was just wonderingif there is anything decent music with a totally far eastern influence to it- Ive always thought eastern music somehow was part of nature- yet I was wondering if all eastern music sounds like this?
