"Bassist Jonas Hellborg returns strongly on his own label Bardo Records with his latest effort Kali's son. His travels to India in the last few years has made Jonas increasingly interested in Indian Music. Jonas & co-composer percussionist extraordinaire Selva Ganesh churn out 6 meaningful tunes @ just under 60 minutes. This album is quite special as it features talented sitar player Niladri Kumar who plays his instrument with lot of flair and uses a distorted tone for some of the tracks coupled with guitar flanger effects which often sounds like an electric guitar ! The piece Shri Shri Vikkuji seems to be the group's tribute to one of the greatest Ghatam players (south indian clay pot)T.H.Vikku Vinayakaram who is incidentally the father of Selva Ganesh. All the pieces are fairly uniform in melody, rhythm & style making this a consistent album. A commendable feat from the three musicians."

Jonas stop!! Your Ruining every up and coming Bass Player!!!

"Yea, the Sweedish guy does it again. I am listening to this right now, and I can't beleive it. The last song is sick. I love the background effects in the album. Bass Player magazine and others of that elk simply have no idea about what this man (Mr. Hellborg) is up to. The music industry (T-Rex) has hidden music like this and other great fusion from the ears of the people of the world. This is real talent. Oh yea, Shawn Lane RIP."
