Free Music Notes for Electric Ganesha Land
Free Music Review: Mind-Blowing Synthesis of Musical Styles
Hit: 5 Stars
On previous albums 'Be the Change' and 'Peaceful,' Prasanna displayed his ability to play songs in a variety of rock, jazz, and traditional indian styles.
What sets this album apart? Here he shows that all these styles can be played SIMULTANEOUSLY. If his prior albums showed he could speak many musical languages, this one shows that he can integrate them into multi-lingual sentences - or even create new words.
The voice of his guitar effortlessly flows from a rock phrase to metal to bop to carnatic raga to funk to blues to odd times and syncopations. He can fill up the space completely or he can let each phrase breathe with its own life.
Definitely get this album. If you like the Indian flavor of this work, his prior albums "Ra Rama" and (my personal favorite) "Vibrant Aesthetics" will quickly become your favorite albums.
Electric Ganesha Land Poster
Indian guitarist Prasanna delivers an album that clearly shows why he is considered by many to be one of the world's most extraordinary and explosive guitarists. In 'Electric Ganesha Land', Prasanna pays tribute to the great Jimi Hendrix in a way only he can do. With a burning rhythm section of traditional South Indian Classical Carnatic percussion instruments like mridangam, ghatam, thavil, kanjira, morsing and konnakol, Prasanna lets loose on a wild guitar ride that blends classic rock, blues, grunge, metal, pyschedelia and occasional bebop influenced Jazz forays with his distinctive use of traditional microtonal Carnatic music vocabulary. Clothing more than 27 traditional South Indian ragas in an arena rock sound, Prasanna creates compositions that are whacky and profoundly spiritual at the same time. Listen to 'Electric Ganesha Land' and hear yourself going 'I have never heard and will never hear anything like this'. The legendary bassist Victor Wooten says in his liner notes to EGL - 'the music on this CD can only be the work of a great musician'Alternative Rock Music CDs
