Eternal Dance

This was a good CD, but not one of the great ones that has me listening to it nonstop for weeks. I was hoping for something more along the lines of Waterbone's "Tibet," and was somewhat let down. I did enjoy this CD, though, it's lovely, but it seems a little... lackluster.

Really great music with deep indian influence. Warning - it's addictive. And the album Eternal Dance 2 is even better!

Thank you, Atman! This CD is filled with mesmerizing, enthralling tracks that lift you into a primeval world of vedic creation--all driven to an irrestible contemporary club beat. World Music at its absolute best. No cheese, no new-agey fluff, just spirit and substance that'll keep you trance dancing for hours. I defy you not to become madly interested in classical Indian music after hearing this disc!

I first heard thuis CD being played in a yoga class, and when I got home i just had to have it. It's pretty amazing. You will have to listen to it over & over to take it all in, and you won't get tired of it. I'm certainly not going to stop playing it anytime soon. Heartily reccomended.

To review the music in Atman would be pointless. It is a mesmerizing mesh of contemporary dance beats and classic Indian chant and mantra. I am in no way qualified to speak on the subject of Indian music or spirituality, but I can say this. I relished every minute of this CD. Since I first heard it, I've probably listened to it well over twenty five times.The only way to describe the experience is metaphor. It's like the feeling you get five minutes into an amazing movie. You know you are in for something special, something you've never seen before. The mix of spirituality and modernism is perfect. It leaves you feeling haunted. Perhaps the lyrics are given added meaning by the fact that they are mostly in Hindi, and indecipherable to this listener. But whatever it was, this cd was a magical listen, and I can't stop playing it over and over.
