You should try it and see how it goes! I've enjoyed experimenting with this because the music seems to have a lot of influence on the emotional theme that develops in the trip. It can become very intimately intertwined with the experience. Personally, I mostly look for music that feels very loving, compassionate, and beautiful. Actually, I think that the more love and compassion I personally sense in the music, the better it will work. It's highly subjective!
You mentioned liking Indian music. Try
this. It's not exactly traditional but it is very heavy in eastern sounds. A few of my most beautiful intense experiences were to these songs playing in the background. The song "Kerala Dream" on that album is my favorite- lots of gentle tabla and bansuri in that one. Love this album.
