Don't like the oriental style.

Great sound, but the songs are a lot of covers off Western music. I'd be happy to listen classic sitar music.

1.5 - the covers are interesting, but the rest os not for me

Unexpected. Didn’t mind the quirkiness for one song but a whole album I could not bear. The tone of the sitar (?) was like a mozzie in my ear - especially this early in my morning

Nice idea that sort of works on a couple of songs, but a whole album of these covers is just too much. You end up hating the semi-good stuff because it just keeps coming, more and more and more of the same trick. It's all very unnecessary.

If someone asked me before I’d listened to this if I wanted to hear covers of overplayed classic rock songs done by a sitar, I would’ve said no. My answer is still no. Love Ravi and some more traditional ragas, but this is not something I would reach for. Ever.

I’m sure it’s fine, but it’s not for me.

4/5 Enjoyed that - 60s standards were a bit cheesy, but would happily explore more classical sitar music.
