Hear world music vocals in ancient (and in some cases dead) languages featured in songs that blur the distinction between past and future. Listen for high-tech sounds married to ancient texts, like the Epiphany Project. There's also Sufi-influenced Arabic folk music from Dozan, a choir founded by Jordanian vocalist Shireen Abu-Kader and the Dozan wa Awtar Establishment. Plus, music from émigré Persian group Niyaz, Australian band Dead Can Dance, and more.
