This reminds me of an arabic mode/scale used particularly in Iraq called (Lami), the interesting thing in this mode is that the fifth note is not a perfect fifth, its half a tone lower, like such:-

C - Db - Eb - F - Gb - Ab - Bb - C

What you will find interesting about playing around with this mode is how hard it is to accentuate the root as C without having to go back to it at the end of each musical sentence, you could find yourself suddenly transposing into C# major or F minor (Kurd mode)...it still interesting though, and has an extemely soulful and sad, even desperate, feel to it...
