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

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!
