Review:

 

A second volume to Sky Dancing from Dakini, the best chill-out label for me

today. And yes, Gio does it again.

Sveda, a new project of Gio & friends open up with Veil of Illusion- Great

hypnotizing drumming, beautiful oriental singing, great break coming back with

beautiful Darbuka work and great opening strings. All create a mysterious

sense of longing that touches the heart deep down inside. Perfect. Masala

continues in the same atmosphere with relaxed, flute-like keyboards with an

almost Bedouin feel to them. Ecstatic Arabian nights in jazzy interpretation

layered on fast drum'n'bassy percussion work in the background. I was

expecting a lot from Professor Trance after the amazing Medicine Trance on

Nada Masala vol. 1. I was disappointed- expectation are bad for you people!

Anyway, after I cleaned myself and listened to Inner Horizon (T3) with clean

mind I found a nice soft peace of music with powerful vocals. Not the best

here, but nice. Than it's time for Dakini's main Skydancer, Makyo with Erzulie

(T4), a weird blend of funky jazzy chilled lines layered rhythmic tribal

drumming, African-like chants and shouts, caressing vocals and psychedelic

squeaking. All sitting together perfectly somehow and sounding totally

coherent and just waiting for your mind to immerse in them. BPC doing

something I wasn't aware he was doing, and doing it well. Mangrove (T5) starts

with a weird consciousness intro and than slides through a slow drumming &

percussion break/build up into a very atmospheric and open vocal track slowly

rising up. Very Dakini in feel. Great. Behind the Veil (T6) demonstrates again

that Makyo makes real trance music. In the sense that it can induce in your

mind a trance state without you moving from your sit. This is another great

melodic chilled journey. Ochi Brothers with Sandhiprakash (T7) a beautiful

dreamy track with enchanted soundscapes. Jaia follow with my favorite here, Le

Chant des Sirenes (T8), a track that has it all, the subtle melodic lines that

touch your soul, the rich world of sound built around you, a magical

atmosphere, powerful, yet subtle, energy, and a real built up story that will

move your mind and even your body. Absolute Jaia. Ishq end the journey with

Yu, a kick-less piece with great atmosphere, as usual in Dakini's CDs.

 

Bottom Line: I feel like a broken record, but this is another great chillout

release from Dakini. Highly recommended. Favorites: 1(!), 2, 4-7, 8(!), 9.

Yes I agree this is excellent chill-out - lots of depth, emotion, complexity -

both of the Nada Masala comps are worth having. Dakini is pure quality - from

the music to the artwork both on the cover and inside. I also was hoping for a

better track from Professor Trance, but I believe both tracks (from Nada

Masala 1 and this one) are just taken from a 1998 album - anyone ever tracked

down the whole album?------------Skaha
