 Rating:  - Pure ImaginationI love to read the reviews of critics. You can learn a lot from critics, just by their ignorance, which they so ignorantly (and eagerly) display. This album is a masterpiece. I admit to my shame that I have only heard half the album. I heard it on HOS 12 years ago and have never gotten it out of my head. It seems to have been the inspiration behind the movie LawnMower Man, whether anyone will admit it I couldn't care less. The folks who give this less than a four, or even a five for that matter, are suffering from an over-inflated ego, and an excessive desire to hear themselves speak. If the purpose of new age music is to help transport you into new worlds of thought and reality, then this album has succeeded ...

And those who aren't are sure to swept off by at least most, if not all of the tracks, like "Think" and "Dream". U Srinivas has been a rather a lowkey performer in his home country and Michael Brook has his shares of critcs blues but in this album, its pure transcendental ambient magic! Love it all the way !! Rating:  - Darkness and dreamsThis is a disc that has to be taken on it's own terms.If you are looking for a place to start with the work of U Srinivas I would reccomend "Rama Sreerama" ( which was produced by Michael Brook just before these sessions took place)this is where you will here some of the most beautiful traditional indian music you will ever hear.This disc also contains some of the most delicate virtuosity and passionate group playing you are ever likely to hear. I know almost nothing about Michael Brook( Canadian ,guitarist and composer) ,but I do know that he seems to have detractors and admirers in equal numbers ( usually a good sign). Unlike other recordings of U Srinivas this is very dark and at times almost sombre music.Brook has added some overdubs( ... Read More: Rating:  - The Western musician lacks Indian classical music knowledgeI was disappointed when my anxiety turned into depression. Clearly the fault lies in the main composer as he is totally oblivious of the south Indian classical music structure. Indian classical music has certain norms and standards that are to be followed. When Srinivas restricts himself to a particular raga, Brooks with his so called infinite guitar touches "unmelodic scales" and finds himself aimlessly playing his instrument. I must admit that Srinivas has however played his part very well. Whoever sang the alap for the last song, i must say that he has to better his skills in it! Rating: - Unique, dark and accessibleMichael Brook works his magic again, this time with Indian prodigy, U. Srinivas. "Dream" is an incredible exploration of fusion and improvisation that feels (suitably) dreamy but never loses its focus. A pulsing dark undertone persists throughout the disc. Fantastic. |
