Evil Art From -“Yang ching gOODNESS” 2005 Such records.
Though this track is named after an instrument, the sliced and diced sound of the “yang chi’n” or Chinese hammered dulcimer, is not quite apparent at first in this track the jagged and staccato sliced samples pulse with a nature that is completely opposite of the instrument that they originally came from. The layers of flute, dulcimer and rhythm bounce in an abstract dance pattern, Utilizing more breaks and pauses, than flowing flute or dulcimer-like tones. This experiment in sounds and rhythms has evolved this into some type of hybrid Asian-electro-glitch-pop. Somewhere between a quirky cellphone ring tone and the dance floor.

Sarmust - “Machine guns” (acoustic demo) 2009
Lyrics:
You say you know, where evil goes, where evil lies, but i can see it in your eyes, this gangland your land my land stolen, angry babies bellies swollen, who made those guns, who armed the young.
But i do not fear machines guns, i do not hear machine guns i am deaf to all but love.
In the Khyber Pass, where the hippies laughed, and Alexander passed, well now a days the kids they make their guns by hand. Forged in fire not cold war the triggers all implore, you can’t just disregard and then bombard and then ignore.
But i do not fear machines guns, i do not hear machine guns i am deaf to all but love.
There’s a garden in Punjab, bullet holes in the walls, each one is framed, so our children don’t forget but some how i feel regret. Near the Golden Temple they felt free to assemble, anger came in armoured cars, and bodies fell like shooting stars.
History scars, History’s scars
But i do not fear machines guns, i do not hear machine guns i am deaf to all but love.

The Fanaa Fish “Zalim Nafs” (2008) Words by Sultan Bahu. Lo-fi electro-punk, distorted vocals, Punjabi Sufi lyrics:
Allah pardhion hafiz hoion, na giaa hijabon parda hoo. Pardh pardh alim fazil hoion, talib hoion zar daa hoo. Lakh hazaar kitaban pardhian, zalim nafs na marda hoo. Bajh faqeeran koee na maare, eho chor andar daa hoo.
Translation:
You read the name of God and memorized the Qur’an, yet this has still not unveiled the hidden mystery. You read and read and became a scholar, a student of greed. You have read countless books in your life still nothing destroys your cruel ego. None but the faqirs can kill this inner thief.
