Anyone else into Bulgarian bagpipe rock?

I will listen to just about anything! I can definitely dig some bagpipes. Links for listening?

Some are lengthy, but the solos and lead-ups are worth the lead-ups .  Very little vocals.

It's important to remember that Bulgarian bagpipes have only 1 drone pipe vs the Highland's (Scottish) 3.  Yet the sound is distinctly different.

Just listened to those 3 tunes and several more. Very good stuff, I like it! Thanks for sharing.

I found them in the same vein with Tool.

[Khines5705]

I was gonna say the very same thing!

Bagpipes? I'll pass on those.

I can honestly say that I enjoy just about any style of music and listen to some stuff others find very strange!

I admit there is a huge difference in the implementation of Bulgarian bagpipes as opposed to Scottish Highland bagpipes.  Also, the musician composing the arrangement has a lot to do with it as well.  Smallman is definitely more rock n roll than countryside-kilt.  Although the Doobie Bros are a staple to good-time classic rock, much like the Allman Bros, Cream, CCR, and....Skynyrd.
