If you want some good Korean music, there's a band (now defunct band) called Bulldog Mansion. They do this kind of odd mixture of music that really works. If you've ever seen the two flash animations called Cake Dance, the theme songs are done by Bulldog Mansion. You probably won't be able to find the two CDs they had out, either online or as actual CDs anymore, but I happen to have them if you'd like to sample.
