Bollywood Lounge. Don
Shiva. $7.00 |
|
|
Bollywood Lounge,
is lounge music strongly influenced by this traditional Indian
Music, Bhangra Beats, Bollywood Tunes and Electronic/Ambient.
Some of the tracks sound familiar, due to Punjabi MCs
popularity, but in all this hype, it is not to be forgotten,
that this Anglo-Asian club sound has developed over years.
Workshops of this music style are found in London, Birmingham
and other cities on the British Island, but since music has no
boundaries, many DJs and producers in the rest of Europe have
taken up this trend - Don Shiva being one of them. |

Joy of Life. Karunesh. $7.00 |
|
Smell the exotic spices, sway with the

master multi-instrumentalist Karunesh. Featuring good friend
Govi, on oud and sitar.
In Joy of Life, he
blends the modern and traditional, the acoustic and
electric, to create tunes that open the heart and quiet the
mind. Most songs open like a prayerful surrender, with
mystical chimes and introspective single notes from a
haunting female Indian vocalist, or an Indian violin, sitar,
or bansuri [bamboo flute]. These notes are soon joined by
hypnotic percussion to create vibrant yet nurturing tracks.
Each song is a story, a story of love, loss, hope, and
sadness that graces a life fully embraced. |

into my own very contemporary version of Indian 'Tarana' singing
and also chose some beautiful mantras.

Future Lounge. Al Gromer Khan.
$7.00 |
|
Future Lounge is an acoustic interior of a future
that is still possible, one in which two persons meet, both of
them ready to give, both parties benefiting. As in actual
interiors, I remove the clutter and commence from there. I do
not hang pictures on the walls.
The music on this CD is ambient of the Paisley variety. This
means disregarding Satie, cage and Eno - that it keeps things
open and, at the same time, closer to their abstract essence.
Rather than striving to confirm an emotional or asthetic
preference, one is on the lookout for a timeless state. A type of
music that relies on sound rather than structure depends a lot
on virtues of neglect.
"....one of the most profound artists of our time."
