 Written on October 4, 2007 Summary: Delightful release Anoushka Shankar is coming out with some very interesting sounds. She is successfully blending sounds of the East and West. Keep the good work! Written on October 2, 2007 Summary: Clear Cut and Beautiful Melodies I love Méhdi, Karsh Kale, Norah Jones etc.and this a beautiful and rare production that I also enjoy just as much."Breathing Underwater" is a generally somber album, weighed down by portentous ballads. The Shankar-Kale band got them out of the way during its set, with Monica Dogra taking over the vocals on Easy, a song that Ms. Shankars half-sister, Norah Jones, sings on the album. The songs with words work like Bollywood tunes, with Ms. Shankar supplying clear-cut melodies and hooks on sitar. Vishal Vaid, singing in Hindi, took over for songs that moved the East-West balance closer to India, singing with the long, floating lines and curvy ornaments of Asian classical traditions. But the sets most memorable parts were instrumental, when hybrid rhythms with Mr. Karshs tablas boosted by a funk rhythm section and electronic beats set off improvisations and dizzyingly fast unison passages from Ms. Shankar on sitar and Ravichandra Kulur on wooden flute. Written on September 29, 2007 Summary: Music for a bright future This album gives hope for music in the future. Great album Anoushka and Karsh Kale has set new standards for music with this album to my mind since we have now lost Joseph Zawinul september 11 2007 ,born to eternity. Lets have more of this creative kind of music in the coming years like Harsh Kale and Anoushka are making it. Music like this album is also born to eternity in the positive sence. Written on September 14, 2007 Summary: Beautiful Indian-fusion from the sitar-goddess The sitargoddess Anoushka started her career with three brilliant classical albums, showing both ability, talent and spiritual depth. But it was first with her last album "Rise" she really took a giant leap forward and stepped out on her own. On this beautiful album she has teamed up with percussionwizzard Karsh Kale, probably best known for his great drumming on inummerable Bill Laswell productions. On this album Karsh, who has co-written most tracks with Anoushka, mostly has the role of multiinstrumentalist, playing guitar, bass, keyboards, while his considerable rythmic talents are more downplayed. The are some illustrious guests in the shape of Sting and Anoushka's (half)sister Norah Jones, and both provide stellar performances on what's clearly two of the best tracks. Elsewhere it's a host of classical trained Indian vocalists and musicians who sprinkle up things, like Vishwa Mohan Bhatt on slide guitar and Jaya Prassana on a very lyrical bansuri (bamboo flute). But the dominant factor apart from Anoushka and kale is the strings arranged by Salim Merchant, a very tasteful Bollywood arranger. Reminding me of Ravi Shankar and Philip Glass' collaboration "Passages". Most tracks are brilliant Indian electronica-fusion, in the style of Midival Punditz and Tabla Beat Science, but things rise to a transcendental high, when father Ravi joins the procedures on the beautiful "Oceanic", pt. 1 & 2, co-written with Anoushka. Amazing with what mastery he still plays the physical demanding sitar at the tender age of 86, and how Consciousness and Bliss seem to emanate from each note. And the album ends in similar meditative mood with the breathtakingly beautiful "Reprise". I fell in love with the sitar, like many in my generation, via George Harrison (and Brian Jones), and few plays it better than Anoushka, so it's great that there is actually a lot more sitar on this album than on "Rise", and that she seems to have developed even further as instrumentalist, realy utilizing the instrument in non-classical settings. All in all highly recommended for all lovers of Indian music and of visionary and inventive music in general. Written on August 28, 2007 Summary: Will blow your mind... I too saw Anoushka and Karsh play this evening at World Cafe in Philly. Lush, bold and exquisite sonic bliss ...pretty much describes most of the songs I've heard them play from this album. |
