For those of you who use spotify I have created a playlist of Persian themed music (Azam Ali, Niyaz, Vas, Stellamara, etc.) as well as sitar (Anoushka Shankar, etc.) and bansuri music (Hariprasad Chaurasia, etc.) that explores more Indian themes. This is to provide some simple ambience to your campaign, or maybe for inspiration. The style suits my vision of Athas as an arid, mysterious, and desolate world. Here's a few samples: Stellamara - NidaAnoushka Shankar plays 'Pancham Se Gara'Vas - LilaHariprasad Chaurasia & Co.Just search for 'dark sun' on spotify.

One of the villains in my campaign is a (heavily revamped) version of "The Red Chord", the slaver group introduced (poorly) in Marauders of the Dune Sea. I've made their symbol a crimson saz, and the players have come to shudder at the sound of a saz. So perhaps I should not use your Persian music.

Would any of you know of a good "persian, arabian, mesopotamian, etc." song (without vocal or lyrics) that could be used for a battle?
Thanks!

Secret Chiefs 3, "The 4 (Great Ishraqi Sun)" uses a saz and is pretty driving. A lot of Secret Chiefs songs would be good. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jGgTJ4F0jc&feat...

Not bad, but they are live. I don't like when I have some background noise. Although, there is a little bit too much electronic for me. But the kind would be interesting.
Driving. Yes, must be!
Thanks for the suggestion though!

Well, yeah, I meant you should get the album version. It's longer and a more consistent track.

I also think you should get some Muslimgauze. Everything is essentially wordless (any lyrics are snippets simply used as samples), the songs are very long and quite repetitive (great for background in combat), and there are like 40 albums so you're sure to find a bunch of things to use.

Start with anything from the Hand of Fatima album: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJSNH0eZmloAgain, get the album tracks if you like them rather than relying on a **** youtube. I also think the stuff from Silknoose would be good, though some is too electronic for what you're talking about. For an example of a good one, try Sheesh Mahal: www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3xrtjTKHHo

I'm going to check out these, they seems a rather interesting group for Darksun!
Thanks.

These are some great songs, thank you all for sharing! My own humble suggestion would be the soundtrack from Homeworld 2. Despite being a game about spaceships, the soundtrack definitely fits the Dark Sun themes. Here's my personal favorite, from when the player discovers a Progenitor Keeper: www.youtube.com/watch?v=btXnl7AGFg0
