This is an interesting, relaxing and beautiful collection of sound and culture. Prem Joshua mixes eastern instrumentalization and traditional melodies with modern instuments for a pleasing sound. I really enjoy Dance of Kali, which combines two Hindu mantras with eclectic instumentalization that stays with you. I plan to buy the rest of this artist's collection.

Dance of Shakti (2001) is one of Prem Joshua's best efforts. This is a duet performance featuring Prem Joshua on sitar and flutes, and Manish Vyas on tabla, santoor, and keyboards. The songs feature chanting and long instrumental portions. Two of my favorite are Nanak and Dance of Kali. The music is upbeat and infectious -- it gets under your skin and takes you on a trip to a wonderfully blissed out place. Good music to drive to and to have on as background. For a different take on fusion, one that is a bit more mellow, though no less artistic, give Prem Joshua's Sky Kisses Earth a try -- you won't be let down.

Its real good, this one. Its got rythmn and melody, both. The mix works very well with the Indian Chants primed with dance floor music. Nanak works very well as do the other tracks. I liked this album the most among all the prem joshua albums.
