Devadasi (In Dub) 03. Devadasi (Sunrise Beach Mix) Review: This is the second Makyo album. Here you get a bonus cd too, with different remixes of the Devadasi track. Releases from the talented Gio Makyo is always interesting. As always from Dakini, a beautiful cover art that beats most of the art I have seen on other albums. Track 1 brings you straight back to Makyo land with the beautiful female voice of Lakshmi Shankar, together with relaxing electronic melodies, sounds and drums. Track 2 is faster than usual. More drums. Very etnic, with a lot of organic instruments, cool female voices and melodies. Track 3 is very dreamy. Maybe he woke up, innside of a dream? I don`t know where he gets it from, but this is just completely beautiful. Here we are just floating around in wonerful sounds. Track 4 takes us back to old asian roots, with a lot of etnic flavour mixed with electronic sounds. Keiku has made the cover arts for Makyo, and stands for the vocal in track nr. 5. Very relaxing track with nice chilling drums, and a beautiful voice. This track last for 16.20 minutes!! Track 6 is another dreamy track, just floating from beginning to end. Track 7 is one of my favourites on this album. I just can`t explain how nice this is. Lakshmi Shankar is singing again, along with just nice floating sounds and a bit guitar. The last track on cd 1 consists of a lot of weird guitar and relaxing melodies. Nice ending on yet another masterpiece from the master of chill. Cd 2 has got 3 tracks. Devadasi in three different versions. First the Mantra mix, starts very slow, before some hard rhythms starts rolling. It´s almost drum n bass rhythms. Very cool. The In Dub version is like a comletly different track! Very etnic all the way. The Sun Rise Beach Mix is the fastest version. Almost a psytrance track! Very good. If you like one Makyo album, you can buy them all, because Makyo has never released a bad album! And it`s always variety between the albums. This is music you can even play for you parents or your old grand mother! 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shahar@isratrance Posted May 5, 2002 Share Posted May 5, 2002 My first Makyo release, since then I've never looked back. Sounding like a scratched record again I will say that no one beats Makyo in the etnic ambient field. Excellent. Have it!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rx7style Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 Makyo is to me undiscovered musical gold... Yashini was the first album I bought, and I absolutely LOVE that album. I can't wait to pick up all these albums, and I've heard CD2 before at a friends place and I was equally impressed. GET MAKYO! GREAT MUSIC!
