A Wonderful Collection.......2002-01-06

This collection contains artists who are well known within the Ambient field as well as others who are not. James Asher, Al Gromer Khan, Deuter and Osho are just a few of the better know artists that are in this collection. The common theme is India.

From the opening of James Asher's soft and seductive "Red Desert" to the strings and vigor of Prem Joshua's "New Kafi", the flavor of India is fresh and alive. James Asher has a second track called "Further East" with percussion and rhythms that will make you dance in your chair.

Chinmaya Dunster and Vidroha Jami offer us "Wandering Way", a string piece with a catchy tune and lots of the flavor of a soft Indian night.

Music from the World of Osho offers a piece called "Namaste", another soft Indian piece that has wonderful guitar work as well as traditional Indian instruments.

Al Gromer Khan's piece is "Agori Dance", a rather darker piece, more like a tiger walking in the forest at night. Very silky and very rhythm based, it flows like a dark river.

Ustad Usman Khan's offering of "Raga Hansadhwani" is much more traditional, a Raga piece that gives you the full flavor of this style of Indian music at its finest. A true traditional Raga, with all the melding and blending and rhythm this music is famous for.

Hariprasad Chaurasia gives us a more subtle piece called "Indian Folklore" which is very traditional sounding yet has very gently inflected jazz tones. A nice original mix and well done.

Namaste has a vocal driven cut called "Gayatri Mantra" with wonderful harmonies and vivid tones. Again, traditional in flavor and gives another perspective on Indian music.

Finally, Deuter performs "Sunlight Dancing", a short but bright piece of flute and drums with an electronic background that does not distract but rather fills in the piece.

World music is a small pocket of Ambient music. This CD gives you a taste of the music of India as presented by both the traditional artists and also those who are not so traditional but still find the heart of India in their music. A good collection for those who enjoy the sounds of India and a good introduction to New Earth Records.
