So, what exactly is 'throat singing' then? Basically, it involves overtones that are heard in new music, applied to voices. Höömeï is the name applied to it though it is really only one of three or four styles also including sygyt and kargyraa. You hear a deep humming groan, mixed with a high pitched whistling sound.

Those guys better watch out they are making some frogs very excited.

Very amazing though, it would of taken ages to condition their throats and voices to handle those tones at extended lengths.

I wonder what they are singing about... It sounds happy to me... but it could be sad too... I love it...

Wow, so this is the sound Shpongle sampled in the beginning of the track Divine Moments of Truth. In this clip Divine Moments of Truth is used as background music. After the annoying fly bit, the good stuff starts. Though Shpongle should only be listened to in full CD quality

edit: the song also appears to have been sifted

It's interesting but not exactly... listenable for long periods of time.

I remember one of the last shows I saw on Richard Feynman and how he had set up a trip with a bunch of his friends to visit Tuva (somewhere deep in Russia I think). This is similar to the videos taken by one of his friends who wound up going.
