I've recently saw something about those monks, I think one or some may be touring my way soon. I have several recordings that sample their unearthly chanting, amazing what the human voice can do. I'll have to check out your other recommendations Geert. As for Tango elements in Ambient/Dance/Trance -- I think I may be able to pinpoint where it started. At least for me anyway. Sphongle's *Tales of the Inexpressible* 's first track, Dorset Perception, starts off very tango and then mixes in elements of (good) psy-trance in bit by bit. It then goes on to integrate all manner of musical traditions into it's tracks. This album really rekindled my love of music back in 2001, and I HIGHLY suggest anyone listen to it if you have the chance - Rich, Geert, Akemi, any of you. Just have an open mind and let yourself be transported. The production is out of this world so it should past your criteria Rich, lol. It may be hard to find though, but you can download/listen to samples at Beatport.com. Sorry for the speach, but it is a Top Ten album for me. Their first one is amazing too, though it has more of a 'world music' sound to it, and their 3rd one is more dancy but still highly creative. #4 is in the works.
