5 out of 5 stars Any More Evanescent and It Wouldn't Exist.......2001-06-14

The textures here are so delicate they're sometimes difficult to distinguish. John Hassell's trumpet blends into the filigreed notes of Ronu Majumbar's bansuri flute, a most subtle instrument, while Ry Cooder's guitar lines float somewhere just inside aural invisibility. Does this sound soporific? Not at all. There's some weird kind of ultimacy going on here--the less-is-more principle taken to the max. Though this is Majumbar's session, that (w)ry genius behind Buena Vista Social Club, Talking Timbuktu, and the roots revival has his finger prints all over it.

5 out of 5 stars Hollow Bamboo Gives "Solid" Pleasure!.......2000-10-23

My ears, heart & soul where not prepared for the relaxing pleasure that this disc has given my weary mind! It was total pleasure from the opening notes of the featured bamboo flute, right through to amazing tabla drum textures, silky electric guitar from Ry Cooder, and John Hassell's trumpet You too will feel at one with the Universe after one listen! A QUIET MASTERPIECE-->Ry Cooder has indeed found musical bliss.
