3.0 out of 5 stars Great melodic beats - pulsing drums, August 8, 2004

If drum beats can be melodic - this album shows that.
Two great gurus of the drums Sivamani - with his ecstatic beats, vedic chantics to add a mood to the music, crazy one-offs with the other great guru James Asher who with his own pulsing beats creates a superb album.

And inspite of a whole album of drum beats - it doesnt bore you in the least. The mood changes totally across the album to revive and keep up the interest in listening intently and marvel at the fluidity of the pair.

There are occasional melodic tunes too - with flutes and other instruments. But best of all is Sivamani's rapid fire chants and his vocal beats that he syncronises with the actual drums.

If you want more of such ecstatic intrumentation and percussion in particular - should check out "Blazing Drums" which has some more masters in it like Trilok Gurtu, Kale Karsh etc.
