Oriental background music
Hello SJGames forum!
I will be running the Caravan to Ein Arris campaign on Wednesday. I usually play music in the background when I play RPGs so I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for ambient oriental/arabic music in different themes (travelling, combat, campfire etc). Google and the search functions have been less than useful. Help would be much appreciated. Greetings Scaatis Edit: I already have the soundtrack of the first "Assassin's Creed" game and the soundtrack of "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" (the movie) |

Re: Oriental background music
My sister has a great album called "Arabic Groove". But it might be more modern than you have in mind.
Dead Can Dance also has some songs that would be appropriate to put on a mix.

Re: Oriental background music
If this one is the same one I remember, it has a fair sound track.
http://catalog.multcolib.org/search~...T=R&37%2C37%2C Unfortunately it is a docu and has a lot of narrative.

Re: Oriental background music
If you've got Medieval Total War 2, there's a selection of Middle Eastern sound tracks buried in that - I think at least one edition even came with a soundtrack CD.

Re: Oriental background music
Thanks to everyone for the replies!
I remembered I had Stronghold Crusader floating around - it also has oriental music. So far the closest to what I'm looking for. I'm going to check out the medieval 2 soundtrack. The caravans theme is not bad but a bit short. It surprises me that there is so little arabic roleplaying music out there... Edit: meh, apparently my version of Medieval 2 is not the one with the audio cd :( Last edited by Scaatis; 10-10-2011 at 06:35 AM. |

They have kind of a modern sound though - I found another piece on youtube that sounds like the kind of music I'm looking for: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHGBo...eature=related |
