██ Sure, this record really isn't more than an exploitation of ██
██ the crossover between psychedelic music and Eastern sounds, ██
██ but that shouldn't detract anyone from listening to it in ██
██ its entirety; in fact, that would be a huge mistake. The ██
██ opener, the sitar- and Moog-soaked take on "Jumpin' Jack ██
██ Flash," is performed perfectly, with every choice accent ██
██ milked for maximum drama. Once the novelty of sitar-dosed ██
██ covers of your favorite songs wears off, you really begin to ██
██ notice how excellent the performances are on this record. ██
██ Ananda Shankar manages to bridge the gap between kitsch and ██
██ fine art on these tracks, from the opener all the way to the ██
██ cover of "Light My Fire." One minute he is playing simple ██
██ notes like it was taking the place of a guitar, at other ██
██ times utilizing the full reign of the sitar's sound ██
██ possibilities. The originals on the album follow an equally ██
██ impressive path. The dreamy, hazy bliss of tracks like "Snow ██
██ Flower" and "Mamata" is both meditative and slinky -- light ██
██ melodies with twisted atmospherics and tweaked Moogs. The ██
██ drum breaks in the gurgling "Metamorphosis" are worth the ██
██ price of the album alone. For the most part, the album ██
██ rarely strays from the East-meets-West formula, with the ██
██ Eastern rhythms getting the short shrift and the focus ██
██ relying on Western funk and pop styles getting an Eastern ██
██ makeover. Not that this is bad at all, but when the track ██
██ "Sagar" ends, you realize that this record could have been ██
██ much more than it was. This specific track guides the ██
██ listener through a space/water odyssey over the course of 13 ██
██ minutes. It's a slow build that gains momentum as the music ██
██ progresses and flashes of acoustic guitar help the rhythm ██
██ along. The final track is a great mixture of folk guitars ██
██ that takes the focus away from the sitar for once, instead ██
██ incorporating vocals and a chorus that manages to lock into ██
██ a repeated chant that is the unexpected highlight of the ██
██ album. ██
