Oriental Blessings
What a release! this is surely the best ethnica cd I have ever heard so far! So groovy, crispy and uhh the diversity!!! I love the little bluesy track "ghasi ram blues" makes me laugh I can't belive why I did'nt get this album earlier... But it doesnt matter now I have it!
I agree with u Moni that this is surely accessible music, I played it for one of my female co-students from uni yesterday and she was blown off her feet, normaly that doesnt happen when I play her any psy-oriended music. But I think one of the reasons is that this realese is quite different from your regular psy-chill release. It seems like the tracks really are build up on the oriental/indian-inspired foundation instead of beeing oriental sound-scapes build on a "western" foundation. So that really makes this music special from whats out there! I find the same kind of foundation in the "Walking Through" album Off course there exist other artist who does this, but not nearly as well as Kaya Project does it IMHO!
If you dont own this album and like world/oriental-chill this is a must buy!!!!!!!!!
Verdict 10/10 (no surprise I guess!)
