Islands of Adventure - Lost Continent - Area Music Loop

This is the complete music loop that plays in the area around the now-closed Poseidon´s Fury attraction at Islands of Adventure. To convey the feeling of an oriental / middle-east environment, the music is performed by exotic sounding instruments like the oud and zill (finger cymbals). The melodies in this loop make heavy use of the phrygian scale which is typically associated with music played in arabian regions. However this soundtrack is not 100 percent authentic music that would be performed in the middle east - since original music of this region is often classified as sounding "too unfamiliar" to European and U.S. customers, theme parks (and mainstream films) usually present "watered-down" soundtracks for themed lands and attractions related to "exotic" parts of the world. For example Dutch theme park Efteling went the same route when producing the soundtrack to its dark ride "Fata Morgana".
