Suvarna's FIRE OF THE ORACLE, April 16, 2001
This review is from: Fire of the Oracle (Audio CD)
I finally received this final version CD long ago from Etherean Music after being sent a pre-release demo from a good friend. If you love female vocals - ethereal yet passionate blended with electric violin and then intertwined with Indian-raga, beat-driven, mantras, eclectic synths, and an air of deep mystery -- THEN BY ALL MEANS GRAB THIS NOW!! Suvarna Freeman's vocals and violin are a luscious experience!! Ravi Freeman handles keys, kora, guitar, kaval, bass, percussion, chants, overtones, and loops. THIS RELEASE IS JUST TOO COOL!! It avoids all that cheesy gestalt of, "let's-rip-off-Indian-trditional-music-and-make-a-fast-buck-disco-drivel" stylings, all too prevalent in world music -- BUT INSTEAD delivers a truly unique listening experience. The 7:30 "Completion" song was AWESOME, a meditative lilting of ecstasy unbound, solemn, pure light in sound, and to hear Suvarna's spoken words were as if an angel had come to my side -- ooh, serious athrilling goosebumps -- oh for this song to have lasted three times longer. Next CD, Suvarna, fill a whole CD with such!! Let your soul fly for a good 18 minutes or so. Do it! Suvarna, you are !!MAGIC!! and your voice has lifted this seasoned reviewer into planes of new sonic nirvanas -- please do this again!! Thanks! -- Eclectic Earwig Reviews

Quality From Start To Finish, June 19, 2007
This review is from: Fire of the Oracle (Audio CD)
First got this in 2001 and have played it at least once a month since then. Very evocative of traditional Indian fare without being overproduced new-agey drivel. Great addition to the library of anyone looking for expansive music.
