Album Review

At 67, veteran Indian music master Ali Akbar Khan successfully blends tradition and technology on Journey, a moving CD produced by his protege and student Jai Uttal. Journey, however, isn't modern secular Indian pop, but rather is best described as traditional Indian spiritual and devotional music using high-tech elements. Under Uttal's direction, Khan's sarod and other acoustic Indian instruments like the sitar, the tabla and the dholak successfully interact with electronic synthesizers (none of which sound forced or mechanical). Uttal had learned a lot from Khan, and showed his appreciation by seeing to it that technology was used soulfully throughout this album.

I absolutely love this album!!! If you are looking for something different, interesting, and, well, pretty odd, you will love this. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 is because it can get a little old. Other than that, the instruments in this album sound very different...my favorite is a drum that sounds like bubbles.

Maestro Ali Akbar Khan!

Master Sarod Player Ali Akbar Khan Shines On Track # 7 Carnival of Mother Kali & Track #8 Temple Music. If you don't buy the album, consider buying these two tracks.

Amazing Album. Takes you back to a time place where love and romance transcended time and space. I hear Ali Akbar when I look at Taj Mahal.
