    Wait... The Eastern music is sleep-inducing?

    Now I'm not this professional musician, and as far as formal knowledge on musical theory, I know absolutely dick. But I know this much, when I composed those pieces, in particular the battle-pieces, I took it into particular care to make them sound as disheartening as possible. Kârnây bronze horns, big bad drums of all possible varieties, a multitude of other horns, angry chants en masse and finally the Zûrnây flute which I sometimes intentionally use to torture people at work... We're not even talking ten seconds here. We're talking less than half of that before people start cursing me. If anything it shouldn't bore you, it should actually drive you mad. Unless of course you enlisted for some of CIA's audio-visual torture programmes for the pure shits and the giggles.

    Yes.... it was, and it was a great and beautiful sheep-counting substitute recipe for me...

    I'll feeling sleepy when I play the campaign map with easterners.... the flute and trumpet-whatever, did you play... is... awesome... for... hoahmm..... Zzzzzz Zzzzzzzz Zzzzzzzzzzzz........

    Or maybe it was a cultural shock, as I found that your "Eastern" music sounds like "Tajidor, Dangdut, and Gamelan" for me...

    *) nb: they are genres of traditional Indonesian music. I was used to hear them all the times since I was a child... Maybe equal with your CIA torturing perhaps...

    Wait... Indonesian music does had a similar some elements with Indian - Middle - Eastern music... so don't be too surprised...

    Sorry, but you're not really making any sense
