Review title: Hindus! Non- hindus! Lively up your self!
Product review: Some musical artists appear fully formed, their sensitivities totally developed. Examples would be Midnight Oil or Jimi Hendrix or Miles Davis, people whose music was distinctive and different from their first release.This is the case with Jai Uttal and the Pagan Love Orchestra. Uttal is an Indian who has settled in the USA, someone who has studied classical Indian music, only to pervert the form and develop his own style. This is an album of Hindu devotional song presented as reggae, I suppose, with the instrumentation including Western, Indian, electric and acoustic instruments, a new synthesis for the end of the Twentieth Century. Three of the eleven tracks are in English, the others in Indian languages. One song includes a sample of a field recording of the Bauls, the minstrel Gypsies of India. Listening to it takes me back to India, the dust and the dirt, the sense of difference all about me. Different? Yes. For you? Maybe.
