I felt like listening to some Javanese gamelan.
Gamelan has 2 tuning systems, sléndro and Pelog. Fun fact, if you can't remember which has 5 notes and which 7, count the letters and you'll know the wrong answer! Each gamelan set has a unique tuning, so although people have tried to define sléndro as near-5TET and Pelog as near-9TET with 2 skipped pitches, this doesn't really work without a perfect octave.
