Nothing like finding a new band or bands and immediately getting half a dozen great new songs in rotation. Almost makes you excited to drive somewhere.

I don't mind it if the sound system doesn't sound like a Honda fart can.

Nothing wrong with liking it. I'd rather be in your shoes. The person without the gene for cilantro aversion (for whom it tastes like soap) is not in a position to like as wide a variety of food as those without it. For me, the music is kind of like heavy cilantro which impacts the experience of the entire dish. It makes the whole film seem bathetic/heavy-handed to me.

I don't it is simply the fact that it is a glossolalia. I love Brian Tyler's compositions for Children of Dune which also feature glossiola

In the present series, however, it's so over the top (the featured singer digging into vocal fry for soulful affectations). I can almost hear a vocal coach shouting "Really reach into your inner noble savage! Belt it out!" It's all dialed up to 11. To me it sounds like a bunch of Wilhelm screams.

It has all the verisimilitude of a drunken Bostonian vocalizing to the Riverdance OST at a Karaoke bar.

If we want something ethereal and other-worldly, Brian Eno exists.

I'm glad you like it--to me it's like listening to the synth soundtrack from Ladyhawke.

I saw an internet comment stating that "tea bagging" can help one develop the skill needed for throat singing. I'm not sure what that means, but I suspect it might be a "pop" reference to Demosthenes who was reputed to have cured inarticulate stammering and pronunciation by speaking with pebbles in his mouth. The more you know, right?

I was kidding, I've heard throat singing. It's interesting.

So, the main difference is that in normal singing, you usually produce one sound at a time, while in Mongolian throat singing, you can produce multiple sounds at once. It's usually a low drone sound (like the constant hum of a bee) and a high melody sound at the same time.
