Rasa - Shelter

Rasa exists in the same sphere of the Indian music world as Deva Premal - that of music that vocally calls to mind ancient Vedic traditions, while instrumentally heading in a contemporary, somewhat ethereal direction. SHELTER features the porcelain voice of Kim Waters singing beautifully delivered Sanskrit chants, while the duo's second half, Hans Christian, constructs sonic atmospheres of string instruments and moody ambience. The music's heart is in Vedic spirituality and listeners who embark on this aural journey will no doubt be touched by the sense of devotion made apparent by this album. Transcendent, sensual, elegant - this is one of those albums that will make you long for your next meditation session.
