Smooth And Tasteful From Beginning To End
I just discovered this cd and am very pleased with its overall sound, direction, and, tastefulness. This is well thought out and flawlessly put together delivering music that one can really get into and listen to. Lots of different sounds and I wouldn't limit it to Indian/Middle Eastern influence, although it's obviously there. This music is world class and draws on many influences. One of the previous posters mentioned the Eno/Byrne influence of My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts. A very good observation as this is a cd without equal. Duniya draws a certain comparison with 'Bush of Ghosts', but that is really not their direction. They are definitely up there on my current list, but, a 5 star rating will come when I hear a more unique sound which I think they are fully capable of and I don't say that with any snobbishness, only with hope! They remind me a bit of Enigma, an influence that I hope they can shake off and chart new territory. Other than that, they are well on their way to having a very successful and creative future.

great solid album
Even though I'm a big fan of Loop Guru I only gave this album 4 Stars. I think its an excellent album but compared to 'Amrita' and 'Loop bites dog' its my least favorite. I think its their most commercial album so far and therefore appealing to a wider audience than their others. Which is no mistake of course, but make sure you check out their other albums as well. They have some of that uniqueness and musical excellence that sets Loop Guru apart from other ethnical-elecronic bands!

Move over Byrne and Eno
I have all of their cds and even a few trace cuts on other cd mixes. They pick up where Byrne and Eno left off in "My Life in the Bush Of Ghosts". There are samplings from everything from L. Ron Hubbard to George Martin's horn sections with the Beatles. Their work is nothing short of brilliant with the occasional twist of Indian subcontinent and the Middle East. To put them in a music genre is rude, they are by themselves. Transglobal Underground would be next on my list after these guys and gals. Good listening and crank it up! cheers bin_emir
