Pandit ji's Inexpressible Music

Advantages: HIS sitar can control your heart and soul, lovely music
Disadvantages: comprises of only four tracks

SITAR SOUL is like foreever kind of a music which really opens the hidden truth of life by bringing mental peace to your mind. I think Ravi shankar is capable and even famous for Composing Music which is not composed by rules.No doubt his music is inexpressible Im a DIE HARD fan of Pandit Ravi Shankar ,after silence the next thing which comes to my mind is his SITAR.I feel this is one of his best creations.Raga Mishra Kafi and Raga Mian Ki Malhar ...

the worst world music in the world

Advantages: interesting new idea
Disadvantages: sounds awful

When i first heard of this CD i was like WOW! For the first time ever someone is playing tunes on tablas. (the western equivelent would be playing songs on loads of drum kits all tuned to different notes). I bought the cd immediately and couldnt wait to play it at home. I must admit though, when i played it, i could have killed myself. It was sooo dreadful. the most boring and monotonous music i have ever heard. it actually featured some of my favourite ...
...in to the store and buying this. i am soo sorry for doing such a negative review but i have to get this out. Please no body ever buy this cd because like me you will become scarred for the rest of you lives! also, if you are into world music or indian music, there are hundreds of other cds, buy them, not this. even if somehow you enjoy this cd (there must be something wrong with you ;) you will get completely bored out of your mind after the first ...

The singing violins!

Advantages: MINDBLOWING MUSIC
Disadvantages: dont be silly!

These amazing duet playing brothers are absolutely mindblowing. I have had the honour to meet them and learn music from them for a week and they are so "on the same page". They both are so synchronised yet unique and melodic in their playing that they are arguably the best indian violinists around. This cd is a fine example of their hard work and practise. The music on the cd is just amazing and is top notch them at their best. They have played ...

Introducing... Warsaw Village Band ~ 'Uprooting'

Advantages: Exciting; unique; passionate; challenging
Disadvantages: Well, it's in Polish, so some may find that a disadvantage...

In recent years, the little-known Warsaw Village Band have risen from obscurity to earn some much deserved recognition, playing several high-profile festivals including Glastonbury 09, and even clinching the Best Newcomer award at the BBC Radio 3 World Music Awards in 2004. 'Uprooting' is a fine example of the band's capability, and also of their potential to grow and continue. Comprising six young musicians from Poland's capital, the band blend ...
...passionate and hypnotising set of tracks which should be essential listening for any music fan. I had the honour of first hearing the band when they performed at Musicport Festival 2008, a very surreal experience indeed as they were supporting Rolf Harris! Their set consisted of many of the tracks from 'Uprooting'. The performance put on by the band was both aurally and visually stunning, in part due to their incorporation in their music of many ...
