Black Bombay
The melodies are rich and involving, the rhythms direct and swaying, the Hindi vocals mesmerizing; together they produce a unique and innovative experience: a meeting between world and electronic music. Songs include “Revelation Dub,” “Life in Goa,” “Dancing With Shiva,” and “The Ganesh Peace Spirit.” “Mixes the concepts of trip-hop with Hindi vocals and a bit of Indian percussion... The vocalists used are quite powerful ones, with voices soaring over the instrumental tracks easily... It’s an interesting sound, going a little beyond the usual dance infusions with a more tranquil setting for the samples to stretch out in.” - All Music Guide.

Lagoon West, Edward Clark
Whatever level one aspires to with the practice of Yoga - whether it be to gain physical poise (and the mental state that accompanies it) or whether it is in pursuit of mystical planes of experience - there is no denying the effectiveness of this tool called Yoga. Yoga is an empirical technique and not a religion. Its underlying premises have been verified over thousands of years and these can be experienced by anyone with the will to practice regularly. These premises centre on the notion that experience of life both physical and mental planes can be enhanced and cultivated. While the ultimate mystic goal may be obscure to most, the more obvious benefits of physical vitality and peaceful mental acuity can be obtained ny anyone. Edward Clark - Artistic Director of Tripsichore Yoga Theatre.
