4.0 out of 5 stars I'm Thoroughly Seduced, August 29, 2001

This review is from: Erotic Rhythms From Earth (Audio CD)

Surpringly Govinda ditches most Middle Eastern infections to give more of an exotic flair of sultry trip-hop and electronic/ambient beats. But of course the ingenious Texas programmer/multi-talented instrumentalist Shane O' Madden still embraced Govinda's trademark of contemporary world music with the generation of layer upon layer of violin playing, doing it careful and subtly as to not overdo it but instead to place it exactly in all the right yet minimal spots. So once the production is completely finished the end effect is a lush, cooing atmosphere of angelic female vocalese's entwining bright textures and delicate groovebeats to raise an intoxicating mist in one's mind; leaving the listener deliciously satisfied. Understand, though, that this is no Entwined & Entranced or Oh Earthly Gods, but instead more of a changing experiement that deems, in my opinion, notably worthy of listen upon listen upon listen.

5.0 out of 5 stars govinda's earthly vibes move the soul., January 30, 2002

I recently bought this album and promptly fell in love with it. everyone I know loves the cosmically smooth rhythms and positive beats that define this album. The mixture of trippy violin and traditional sounds of Indian, Celtic, and Spanish music move the mind. The transient flowing synthesized tunes move me to a level beyond the planet earth. The music of govinda has the ability to relax, invigorate, and expand the thoughts of anyone who listens with an open mind.

Like some other people, I first heard Govinda's work in the Buddha Bar compilations. This prompted me to buy three albums of his, all excellent: this one (Erotic Rhythms from the Earth), Worlds Within, and Entwined and Entranced.

I highly recommend all three, though perhaps this one is my favorite. His lush, middle-eastern influenced melodies, combined with modern, sultry beats make this CD the perfect album to put on anytime you want to enhance your mood -- or upgrade your friends' musical tastes.
