(Nothing But) Flowers by askmeaboutLOOM

(Nothing But) Flowers is a relatively straight cover of the Talking Heads tune, with nice world music instrumentation. It’s about, well, someone who finds themselves in a bucolic and pastoral setting, and misses technology. “If this is paradise, I wish I had a lawnmower.”

Caerse Muerto (cyan mix) by sleepy pete

Caerse Muerto (cyan mix) is like a world music soundtrack to an action movie, with much asskicking. It has throat singing, stabbing strings, drums, and a lush and layered atmosphere with other fun instruments.
“Caerse Muerto” means “drop dead.”

Monkeys Vs. Plumbers by aleb

Monkeys Vs. Plumbers is an atmospheric mellow song, with the melody carried by chimes. I’d throw it in the “world music” bin, I think.
