Chords N' Notes
Shafaq Ke Rang
Saregama, Rs. 175 (CD)
This is clearly a poetess’s album; the songs just become a means to express the feeling. Each ghazal speaks tonnes about the calibre of its writer Indira Verma. Be it nursing a broken heart, longing for the beloved or just simply admiring nature. There are in total 10 tracks in the album, the last two of which are renditions of nazm by the poetess herself. The album opens with the title track by Sudeep Banerjee, who is also the music composer of the album. His soft, restrained voice suits the need of the album very well. Since the focus in on the lyrics, soft instruments like piano, sitar, guitar and sarangi have been in used in most of the songs to ensure that the voice is heard clearly.
Buy the album if you have a special something for Urdu poetry. For those who don’t understand that language, there’s a booklet in the CD with English translations of each poem.
Above & Beyond - Anjunabeats Volume Five
Saregama, Rs. 295 (set of two CDs)
This is the official Sunburn Festival album. The event that took place in Goa is considered to be one of the biggest electronic dance parties in India. The album is fifth in this series and features Above & Beyond, who are considered among the best DJs in the world. The album is a must buy for party animals and electronic music lovers, as Above & Beyond are hailed as saviours of trance. But those who consider the repetitive trance music as headache music shouldn’t even bother about this album. It comes with two CDs, each with 13 tracks. Each track flows very smoothly and has beats that keep you moving. Every song merges into the next with delicate touch, that gives the feeling of a never-ending trance journey.
