I was just listening to a song from David Darling & The Wulu Bunun’s Mudanin Kata album, and it was then – as part of iTunes shuffle – succeeded by a Radiohead song.

Very similar sounds, but very different sources. Both atmospheric and lulling, but in different ways.

Darling, with his cello and local groups (in this case, the Wulu Bunun people of Taiwan), is very lush and real.

Radiohead is more stoner/techno.

Yet they are remarkably the same. Interesting. *shrug* To me…

Thanks, iTunes shuffle! One of the unknown (at launch) benefits of same.
