Customer Reviews

Phenomenal
I was blessed to hear one of the songs off this album on NPR's "Echoes". The song was 'Bahariv', I believe, and I was in love with it within seconds, especially the way the didgeridoo was being incorporated into the rhythm. The first thing I did when I got home was lookup the album and buy it, and I'm listening to it right now and have to say, it's a NUGGET.

Better than great
I also heard Bhairav on Echoes and it blew me away. I instantly got on Amazon and ordered the CD. It's the best fusion of sounds since the 70's. Can't stop listening to it.
