Wrong, but I laughed out loud, so I'm giving you a thumb's up.  Keep 'em coming.

Wow, this sounds a lot like Christophe Goze's Sirocco (sp?)

I know that song from the Kelly Slater Pro Surfer game.

I often say my job is like doing surgery in a Haboob (in a space the size of a broom closet).

I've described my work conditions as trying to do surgery in a haboob. 
filter stuff down to a micron and package it in a freaking filthy environment.
at least none of my stuff is medical/food use.

When I hear the word Haboob, it means "better close all your windows, turn off the swamp cooler, and get inside before you get a mouthful of dust and have to clean the bloody house after getting it full of red dust!". We have 'em here in Arizona too.

Oh yeah.
We get them here in La Quinta too.

Lived in Zurich for 9 years. On the last day before my departure, my wife and me celebrated the city by going to a Mich Gerber concert in the Badi Enge, in front of the Zurich lake and the setting sun with the alps in the background. What a magical moment.

Very 1995 synth sound, reminds me of The Inifnity Project or early Green Nuns of the Revolution. But nowhere near as good unfortunately and at least 10 years too late. It's a 3 from me.
Posted 5 years ago by be4con    [ Reply ]
I was thinking I heard this on Kelly Slater Pro Surfer game....

Turns out it was Christopher Goze - Sirocco.

If you like Haboob, check out Sirocco.

I see that I never reported back, but we did ride the bus for 6.5 hours on the edge of the Sahara desert, to come to a place called Riad Nezha in Merzouga, An oasis, on the edge. This was the soundtrack, par excellence.

When I get my iPod back in commission, I'm definitely including these in the "must add" list that you've helped me develop over the past months.

Have a great 2013!

Because you'd have to run off to another radio station? At least this'll whet your appetite for 'stronger meat', much as Loreena McKevitt's Celtic Lite music is a taster for the real thing. Anyway, this is a mélange of Middle Eastern music and techno, which you might be hard-pushed to find elsewhere (Cheb i Sabbah does stuff like this so worth hunting down), and would you want to listen to this genre all the time? The great thing about RP, and one of the main reasons I stay and contribute to B&B's coffers, is its eclecticism, the sheer variety of musical styles on offer, such that I'm constantly surprised by what comes into my 'phones. I could go walkies to a 'genre' station (iranianradio.com was a fave) but then I'd not hear anything else.

This is pretty damn good. 7 from the Nottingham jury.

Sadly, I still think baby food and Bridge conventions when I see the name Gerber... ;)
