collapsing folk melodies

Benjamin Nushmutt — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 11:05:48 -0800

What are the sources used in Einstürzende Neubauten's Armenia and Armenia II? Armenia is built around a sample of a choral rendition of an Armenian folk song . Armenia II features a (live? sampled?) duduk, playing a few melodic lines, presumably from another folk song.

Any background information on these songs would also be appreciated. Thanks!

Anyone able to find an Armenian terrestrial TV frequency list?

Armenia terrestrial television frequency list? I'm currently in Armenia and trying to get my TV tuner card to pick up the terrestrial TV stations. I have tried doing a full scan, but with no success. I know that it is a SECAM D/K set up, but I'd love to find a list of the frequencies themselves so I can input them by hand. Additionally, I am on a seriously slow dial-up connection, so my ability to surf is limited. I've already spent a lot of hours searching. Please hope me.

Can anyone recommend reputable academic sources on the repression of local national culture in Macedonia, Armenia, Georgia, and Moldova during the era of Communist rule by dominant 'imperial' nations Serbia and Russia respectively, and the resurgence of nationalism in these countries after the fall of Communism and breakup of these empires? Thanks! Also, similar sources on former Soviet Central Asian states would be appreciated.
