5 out of 5 stars The Sound!.......2002-03-07

In addition to the kudos mentioned by others, I would only point out the Hugeness of the drone sound from the tamboura. The credits list a keyboard as well, which I don't hear; maybe it contributes to the drone as well. Enrapturing virtuoso performances from all; beautiful variety between the voice and violin leading the way; typically brillian rhythm from Zakir Hussain and Vikku Vinayakram; and that sound! I've never heard a drone so huge in Indian music, and while I love the traditionally small tamboura sound too, this is glorious.

5 out of 5 stars Exulted music by Shankar........1999-12-22

A full length traditional Ragam-Tanam-Pallavi composition in Raga Kapi set to Seethalakshmi Tala (a 6 3/4 rythmic cycle of beats indited by Shankar and named after his mother!), is a great piece of music to hear. Special word has to be mentioned about Ganam Rao and Shankar who have done the vocals for this album. Once again Shankar reveals the variation and the depth of his voice. Kudos to Zakir and Vikku for the brilliant accompaniment. 'One more gem from Shankar' is what I thought when I heard this music for the first time.

5 out of 5 stars Divine, Absolutely So.......1999-11-13

Do not miss this album if you are a fan of Shankar's. Glorious beats, and some unbelievable music. So divine, you would find it hard to believe it didn't come from heaven, but from a few strings and a bow.
