^ Well, I think you found a great way of doing exactly that.
As I listened to the album, I also felt that I´d heard something quite similar elsewhere. Maybe what actually stands out for me is that this album doesn´t have any weak tracks at all; from start to finish, there is a consistent high quality. There may be no cutting-edge experiments going on, but there is a rich tapestry of sounds; turn it down and it´s nice background music, turn it up and you can hear how the different instruments are contributing. In fact, I was going to vote "Good" for Niyaz, but now I´ve talked myself into voting "Excellent" instead !

Perhaps of interest to you Lisnaholic I thought you may have recommended the Huun Huur Tu album Eternal at some stage though I couldn't find the post I imagined.
This was recorded with Carmen Rizzo who is one of the core members of Niyaz.

^ No, I didn´t come across
Eternal; I stopped exploring after finding
If I´d been born an eagle and
Where young grass grows. A meeting point between Huun Huur Tu and Niyaz certainly sounds intriguing ...
