Title: Jai Uttal should return to his roots: Review of Nectar
Review: I was waiting for Nectar with much anticipation. It was a huge let down. Jai Uttal has abandoned his incredible talent in mixing Indian rhythms and melodies and has gone super religious ! If I want to listen to a pure kirtan CD, Id pick up some original kirtanists from India. There are scores of them. What made Jai's earlier work with the Pagan Love Orchestra so great was the mixing of Western instruments with Indian chants..Jai, when will you go back to your roots again ? Please dont disappoint your fans..Nectar does not have a single decent song except perhaps for the last track.Its time for Jai Uttal to get the Pagans and go back to the Recording Room ! His comparative advantage is in mixing his Western musical roots with Indian music, not in becoming another Indian kirtanist..There are 2 million of them in India and they have an authentic Indian accent ! Although I must say Jai is getting better and better at his Sanskrit..
