Second album of
Kula Shaker, the band that failed to become the biggest
britpop band ever, like some
rock critics were eager to predict. This is not, however, because the music is
bad. On the contrary, I'd say the music is
sublime and this album stands out in all of the records made during the 90s. It has great influence from
Indian sounds and
aesthetics, managing to escape the
hippie approach of the 60's.
First released in 1999 (according to the band's official site: kulashaker.co.uk), the album contains 12 songs:
- Great Hosannah
- Mystical Machine Gun
- S.O.S.
- Radhe Radhe
- I'm Still Here
- Shower Your Love
- 108 Battles
- Sound Of Drums
- Timeworm
- Last Farewell
- Golden Avatar
- Namami Nanda-nandana
