Search - L. Subramaniam :: Indian Express Mani & Co

I would give this 6 stars if I could

"It's a combination of two albums - India 2000, and another, whose name I forget. It's the title of an album devoted to Sri Sathya Sai Baba. Awesome music, typical of Dr Subramaniam."

Soothing and Quite Dazzling

"I ordered this product because I like Ravi Shankar and other world music and I thought that L. Subramaniam would sound a lot like that traditional-sounding East Indian music. I was surprised to find out that L. Subramaniam (at least as represented by this CD) is more of a fusion/jazz artist. Many of the musicians he appears with here, are in fact jazz oriented (Maynard Fergerson & Hubert Laws). Although I always liked jazz, I never got into the more "electric", "fusion" or "new age" type sounding jazz. This CD is all of those things plus some of that traditional East Indian feel. It is also quite "funkified". Given an even chance, this CD is quite nice, and Dr. Subramaniam is quite a remarkable musician. Parts of this CD are quite soothing and other parts quite dazzling.



In terms of genre, it is hard to pin down though."

Excellent musician
