Hey, a closet carnatic music listener? or NOT? I think hindustani music also has Hamsadhwani raga.

Listening to 'The Return of Jack Splash' by Plantlife at the moment.

My stepdad's just bought it and I think it'll be finding it's way on to my mp3 player somehow. I've never heard them before. Very funky.

This song is so soft you can feel its texture in your ear canals. Listening to it. Loving it.

good thread!

A good thread maaaaaan!

Listening to HBR1.com on Itunes "dream factory" Track: Volljude - "Tangents". Verry nice chillout track with a trippy touch of asia ambient.

I would reccomend hbr1.com to anyone looking for a melodic trance kind of ambient vibe... Check it before you wreck it!

Big up!

Bossa Nova Fans Unite!

john.sw and vasko -
Just wanted to say "ola" to some fellow bossa nova lovers
The voices of Astrud and Joao are so sensual and "edible" (good description, john.sw) - I never get tired of listening to them. I remember the first time I heard Astrud singing "The Girl from Ipanema" - I was maybe 12 or 13 years old and it was on some distant AM station, the sound fading in and out, but I heard her voice through the scratches and static and I was hypnotized...
Another great album is "Joao Voz e Violao" - just him and his guitar - great bedtime listening

Carnatic Music Genre... These elaborate raga sketches and explorations by these two artists are fantastic. Madurai TN Seshagopalan (TNS) is an old hand while Sanjay Subramanium has a beautiful voice as well!...I just picked these two CDs...if you like carnatic...i would definitely recommend specially the one by TNS!

Ragam Tanam Pallavi (RTP) on Raga Chakravaham
By Sanjay Subramanium

Ragam Tanam Pallavi (RTP) on Raga Nattai, Raga Kurunji, Raga NattaiKurunji
By TNS

This can be heard online as well at the following link and scrolling down for (Natakurunji Enbar - Ragam Tanam Pallavi - a three raga Pallavi)

MusicIndiaOnline - TNS
