I bought Hallucination Engine when it came out way back when. I am looking for more music that would be in the same genre as the song "mantra". I liken it to an "arabic funk" or some other crudely put description. I really dig the groove and want more, but haven't really been able to find it. I am also into Mike Kandel (Tranquility Bass) if anyone knows who that is.

Ever listen to Critters Buggin stuff? I always call them middle-east funk, and they have some real cool stuff. You can download live shows free from Furthurnet.com (They are LEGIT legal shows) or check out their website @ crittersbuggin.com. Skerik is my favorite sax player of all time and is currently with Les Claypool and the Flying Frog Brigade.... Funny, I was looking up Hallucination Engine, cause all of a sudden I remembered how much I liked it when i had it way back when....
