This is the album that helped me discover my Indian roots in an era of globalisation. Western sounds with a quintessentially Indian soul, thanks to Hariharan's carnatic vocals. Thanks, Colonial Cousins, for helping me overcome my identity crisis. The album deserves 10 stars!

I've heard this album the first time in India in 1997. This unusual and very beautiful composition immediately got my attention. The melodious Indian singing is very soothing and sensitive. Absolutely lovely, I cannot help but being deeply touched by it. I've been listening to this album a lot over the past 7 years. One of the song on it is even on the list of my all time top favorites: Krishna. Absolutely great!

then this group is a must have

Got a tape sended by a very good Indian friend and when I did listen to it, I was completely overwhelmed by the sound of their music and voices. From that time on I'm listening to it a few times a day, and still can't get enough of it.Already bought 2 cd's of them and they both are absolutely fabulous!

We LOVE the Colonial Cousins! We first heard their music while dining at the Tea Room at Tamarind restaurant in New York City, and it was so striking that we asked our waiter what we were listening to -- as we'd never heard anything like it. He told us, and we tracked down a copy of the CD. We can hardly take it off our CD player at home! This is music for the New Millennium -- music that reflects a fusion of musical styles, much as cuisines today are also melding into new fusion creations. It's the most delicious new sound we've heard coming out of our speakers in a long time!...

I heard the music of COLONIAL COUSINS at a friends place, it sounded so great and I listened to it for qiute a few times. I was so excited to get their CD. Its simply wonderful. Get it.

These guys are just plain good. Fusing Indian music and indi instrumuents with Jazz, Colonial Cousins have created very interesting and pleasing music. Highly, highly recommended

Colonial Cousins have come up with the best music for the heart and soul. The kind of music this duo creates is amazingly soothing for the mind. It gives a feeling of deeply relaxed. Their music is soul touching. Great Album. Get it now. Make life worth it. SHiNE

I listened these guys for the first time on the Unplugged MTV India sometime back in 2001, I was enchanted with their music which transported me somewhere in the universe million years ago, their voices and acoustic guitars sounded so great with a mixture of traditional and modern.Their music is coming from the very deep of their souls. Colonial Cousins are simply GREAT you can't miss this essential music in your collection!!
AMAZON.COM please, when are you gonna have some new CD's????

At a large, but private, dinner party in Dubai, UAE. I had never heard of them, but the moment they started playing, I knew this was something very special. Even though I'm a Yank, I prefer the songs more reliant on the Indian Classical sound. "Krishna" and "Indian Rain" will transport you. Buy this now.
