5	Music of Indonesia, Vol. 3: The Outskirts of Jakarta (1991) more music like this by Various Artists Gambang kromong, named for the gambang xylophone, is a regional Jakarta sound that goes back as far as the 1700s.

7	Gamelan Music of Bali [Lyrichord] (1993) more music like this by Various Artists A good bit of gamelan music. This is perhaps one of the most widespread of world music genres, but new entries into the field often lack something. This compilation of sounds spans the majority of the gamelan-based sub-genres within the space of a single disc. Both the angklung (lighter-weight orchestras) and gong kebjar (more traditional) styles ... see all copies from $11.31! new only from $12.97!

9	Frog's Eye (2006) more music like this by Evan Ziporyn New music isn't easy, but Bang on a Can member Evan Ziporyn has a very light touch in these four compositions, especially "Drill," which often seems to float on squirming little wiggles of melody, with Ziporyn himself playing bass clarinet. The moods among the four pieces here vary tremendously -- "The Ornate Zither and the Nomad Flute," for ... see all copies from $13.82! new only from $16.45!
10	Music from Bali (2000) more music like this by Pitamaha Like other Pacific Islands, Indonesia has its contemporary, Western-influenced pop stars as well as its more traditional artists. And on the Indonesian island of Bali, music doesn't get any more traditional than the type of performances that are heard on this CD. Pitamaha: Music From Bali spotlights various gamelen -- traditional Balinese ... see all copies from $6.04! new only from $6.04!

15 view cover	The Sound of Sunda (1990) more music like this by Euis Komariah Reflecting the less-frenetic side of Javanese music, musicians of the Sunda region in the southwest portion of the island incorporate many traditional gamelan elements into an often reflective and at times playful ensemble sound. Beyond many traditional recordings, there are also modern, pop-inspired records such as this. Featuring the renowned ... see all copies from $69.95!
16 view cover	Bali: Gamelan & Kecak (1989) more music like this by Various Artists For many musicians, Bali is still the last paradise on Earth; their music shows an unsurpassed originality and creativeness. Still today, new pieces are being composed by Balinese composers for the different existing ensembles. This CD, produced and recorded by American ethnomusicologist David Lewiston, gives us an overview of the large variety in ... see all copies from $18.76! new only from $18.76!
17 view cover	Bali: Roots of Gamlan (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Recordings found in a private collection stemming from a failed attempt at creating an indigenous market for gamelan music in 1928. The record series from which these recordings came failed miserably, but the performances themselves are quite well-done, and among other things provided inspiration for composer Colin McPhee (whose work is presented ... see all copies from $15.99! new only from $15.99!
18 view cover	Between Heaven & Earth: Traditional Gamelan Music of Bali (1999) more music like this by Various Artists An intriguing album of gamelan based largely on the gamelan jegog orchestra, one made of giant bamboo. Rather than the usual shining, shimmering sound of a proper gong kebyar or semar pegulingan gamelan ensemble, the jegog provides a rapid-fire array of notes, forming a texture of sound from the many droplets of noise in the orchestra. The ... see all copies from $18.79!

This group is one of the few remaining seven-tone Semar Pegulingan gamelans. Its music seems almost weightless, ... see all copies from $10.98!
