From All Songs Considered's August 24, 2006 podcast, Tuvan throat singer Albert Kuvezin and band Yat Kha take on Led Zeppelin's "When The Levee Breaks."
I like it but I have to admit that by tackling such a rock staple, it sounds a bit like a novelty item. Tuvan throat singing sounds more interesting when it remains completely separate from anything I've ever heard.
I think I'll just listen to Dread Zeppelin instead.

you should check out cracker's version of when the levee breaks. it was one of the outtakes from encomimium, i think it wound up on the garage d'or collection. it doesn't happen often, but i think i like their cover more than the original.
Tuvan throat singing rocks! What an amazing sound from those guys! I actually met a TTS a few years back. His voice filled the room.
