I think it's the flamenco style that makes it seem a little bit Moorish.
Seconded on the recommendation of Savage Republic for Alien Anal. And not just the first album, although it is my favorite, too. All Savage Republic has that Middle East texture to it.
The guitarist Bruce Licher once told my friend that he restringed his guitar so that there were six of the same exact guage of string, and then he set each to a middle C. My friend tried it and told me that no matter what he did, it had the same chimey sound as a Savage Republic song. So I tried it, and guess what...IT WORKS!
Just playing random fretwork resulted in rad SR-style sounds.

I'm actually gonna try that; which gauge did you go with?
Oh, and yeah... Ceremonial's probably my favourite actually, but a little less Arabic-tinged I guess.
