Played it on the way home last night and it really is a wonderfully, mellow album. I wouldn't say it's a reggae album though as the driving *force* are the tablas. Guitars flutter in and out as does the percussion (predominately bells and cymbals).vtov wrote:appreciated if you get the chance 6 - the CD's in a local source but no way to hear it.

As I think I said before the strings have a Indian feel to them and you can now see why. They really are way back in the mix so I wouldn't see this as an issue.
Definitely one for chillin' to.
