Chords & Notes
Relax Experience
Tranquility And
Inner Peace
Sa Re Ga Ma, Rs.299
This is the sort of album you can put on when you come back home from work, and let it numb you into a cosy calmness. The composer, Donald Walters a.k.a. Swami Kriyananda of Ananda fame, may be a spiritual guru who talks about knowing God, but it is the simplicity of the tunes, and their no-nonsense clarity that help you relax . David Eby and Sharon Brooks deserve as much credit for their no-frills rendition on flute and cello. As you listen to the 19 tracks, each of which follows the previous tune, so that the pause seems almost imagined, you feel like sinking into a comfort zone. Call it inner peace or de-stressing, it makes you wonder if each musical note has its own world of feelings.
Halka
Mystica Music,
Rs. 140(CD)
Musician Sameer has dedicated this album to the gurus of Sufi. But the music of the album isn’t Sufi-like, but is Sufi inspired. Retaining the original lyrics by Amir Khusro, Wasif Ali Wasif and Baba Bulleh Shah, Sameer has composed nine energetic tracks. The title track ‘Halka’ is peppy song that starts off well but loses the steam in between. ‘Nara-e-Mastana’ is the next song. The best song of the album, singer Abhishek Nailwal touches your soul. ‘Chap Tilak’ is another peppy song. ‘Duma Dum Mast Kalandar’ is a disappointment. Naina Milayika breezes past you. The short song, the first with a female voice, is very urban in its music. Peeya Se I and II are worth a stopover, The other two songs are versions of the title songs. Not a bad buy.
