Most of the lyrics are nonsensical glossolalia.

The song wasn't released on any studio album, to my knowledge.

The type of sound I was looking for with Spiritchaser was the percussion and rhythm, not the European style classical sound from DCD earlier works.
For the past 6 years I've delving into north African blues and Arab psyche. I've been looking into "desert sound" type of music, if that makes any sense 😁
Anyhow, I always appreciate your knowledge and comments 🙏

    Do Anne Dudley and Jaz Coleman's ‘Songs From The Victorious City’, Muslimgauze, and Alek Lee work in this regard? I need to relisten to ‘Spiritchaser’ from this angle, but I've been collecting some world music too in this time, might dig up something.

    Before I forget, check out also Dj Diaki's ‘Balani Fou’ and Nozinja / Tshetsha Boys' shangaan electro — might also be interesting for you, although it's more modern sub-Saharan stuff.

    Perhaps try also the label Awesome Tapes From Africa, however idk how much of that is Arab-style music, I think most is likewise rather modern West-influenced sub-Saharan. Also Bandcamp likely has only a portion of their releases.

    That sounds interesting, I'd appreciate some posts or just a dump of links/names on this topic.

    Songs From The Victorious City - I remember this one, this is nice. i'll have to add this to my collection
    Muslimgauze and Alek Lee delve more into electronic, not bad a thing but maybe for another time.

    I know Awesome Tapes From Africa, maybe like most I got them through Bandcamp, like Habibi Funk.

    I think most is likewise rather modern West-influenced sub-Saharan

    I don't think you're wrong, I'm sure it's influenced by western ears.

    Tinariwen is the band most other musicians reference
    Imarhan, I was very fortunate to see them live this year
    Songhoy Blues Bombino
    Etran de L'Aïr
    Mdou Moctar

    Not related, but I bought this album recently and think that it might fit into this - Ranjah
