5.0 out of 5 stars Two thumbs up!!!, June 20, 2005

Very nice album and very original!!! I have Praful's first CD and between two they are very different. Don't take my word for it, listen to Amazon.com samples. If you don't like new age music this would not be your cup of tea. I enjoy this kind of music; it's very relaxing, smooth and very creative. Praful does a very good job playing sax along with mixing in some new age stuff. I was very surprised after I read some of the reviews!? Unfortunately, this kind of music misunderstood often. Before you buy it listen to the samples. I got this CD because I heard a song from this album on the radio, "Moon Glide", which is fantastic stuff. My advice to you, don't read reviews listen to it yourself and judge it for yourself, everybody's tastes are different. I give it 5 stars!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Mix of Smooth Jazz, Electronica and World Music, June 24, 2005

It took a couple of listens, but I really enjoy the new Praful
release "Pyramid In Your Backyard". It is a nice mix of Smooth
Jazz and Electronica, along with elements of World Music with
Indian and Brazilian overtones. The vocals are nice, especially
"Eternity" and "Naked". This CD will not be for everyone, but
if you are looking for a nice blend of interesting music, I
would recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars I've been absorbed, July 18, 2006

How did he do this?
Here is an intriguing blend of jazz, indian, brazilian, middle east, (etc!), with Praful's incredible sax play. I am discovering this CD over and over again. Praful's first CD is good, no doubt. In my opinion, this one is more creative and engaging. Now that I've said that, I need to listen again to his first CD.
You won't be disappointed. Give it a try. Don't stop until you've heard the last track...the sax is great and I've just replayed it 3 times.
