Loop's trip into new territory is worth taking
Satnamji | 04/14/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I have been a big fan of Loop Guru for the better part of 8 years, Duniya and Amrita being my favorites. When I first heard selections from this on streaming radio, I would have never guessed it was by Loop Guru. Much to my delight this venture into 60s Beatles-esque psychedelia dovetails many of my favorite styles of music. The riffs are catchy and have a feel-good quality without sounding cheesy. Its upbeat and expansive, taking you easily into that happy place. The Asian influences of earlier Loop Guru endeavors are now distilled through 60s experimentations with the sounds and instruments of India.



If I had any knock on this CD, it would be the quasi-philosophical, sound-effect laden spoken word passages between tracks. They are interesting to hear the first couple of times through and generally complement the music nicely, which is otherwise void of lyrics, but I see them getting old after a while. I still give this 5-stars, because the music tracks are just that good.



One last note, I bought this using Amazon's MP3 download system for the first time: the price was less than half of the CD format, and setting up their download software was a snap. I'll be definitely looking for the MP3 option for future music purchases, though I generally prefer to own the physical CD media.
