5.0 out of 5 stars Utterly extraordinary, August 6, 2005

Whether this album is as good as I think it is or just touches me in some way, it's hard to know. You'll just have to get it and listen for yourself. I remember hearing it in the 1980s and couldn't find out which album it was; only now have I managed to get hold of a copy. A prototype of "world music," it's laceratingly beautiful and hypnotic. Shankar's string playing is supremely evocative, mystical whilst not being New Agey, and Jan Garbarek's lyrical sax is serene and haunting. The title track is a master work, and the whole album gets better the more you listen to it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Unusual Mood Music that Sticks With You, February 28, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Song for Everyone (Audio CD)

I enjoyed this CD when it came out in the mid 80s and though my copy was stolen long ago, I still recall this record for its timeless, meditative quality and its unusual arrangements featuring electric violin, sax and tablas.
If you like(d) the instrumental tracks that King Crimson was doing at the time (e.g., those from Discipline, Beat, Three of a Perfect Pair), you'll probably appreciate this CD.
