Review

"Dedicated to the River Ganges in India, this water elegy is an upbeat blend of harmonious ambience and rhythmic energy. The musicians draw on the traditions of Indian tabla drums and Western jazz and sax. You feel like meditating or dancing to this music." --Mandala

Product Description

The River Ganges plays an integral role in India s everyday culture and spirituality. This watery ribbon feeds the land and cleanses the souls of millions on its winding journey from the Himalayas to the sea. Inspired by the legendary river s mythic power, world travelers and long-time collaborators Prem Joshua and Manish Vyas, east-west alchemists of the highest order, invite you to take a trip down your inner Ganges. Imbued with rich images of the East, Water Down The Ganges flows languidly from lush meditative ambience into rhythmic celebration of the great river of life. Disciples of some of India s most respected master musicians, Joshua and Manish present this masterfully crafted recording, a perfect balance between acoustic clarity and electronic boldness. Just as one never stands in the same river twice, Water Down The Ganges offers a refreshingly new experience with each listen.

Namas te Prem and Manish!!

These two have created another great cd to practice yoga to. It has a modern upbeat that meshes great with vinyasa flow, then mellows to beautiful instrmental for seated poses and savasana.

It flows as a yogic journey like the title of the album implies.

I highly recommend this if you have a modern ear and a classical practice.

Om ah hum
