Amateurs of classical Indian music - beware... as this music may unsettle you. All other true music lovers, proceed in confidence !
What a fabulous album Anushka Shankar has produced. Wonderful taste, variety, serenity, sensuality.... Only 1 song clearly sits at a lower quality level - Little Glass Folk - a bizarre and rather tasteless pastiche. But the rest - listen, listen, and listen again. It is true magic !

"Breathing Under Water" is a marvelous marine musical journey. It's perfect to let the music wash over you. Karsh Kale,looking a lot dapper since his "Realize" days,has gone more classical while Anoushka Shankar,Ravi's famous daughter,leaps into the sea of techno. "Breathing Under Water" was 2007's OTHER duet album,in the shadow of the sandy Robert Plant/Alison Krauss juggernaut.
"Breathing Under Water" has a great range of styles. The opening,"Burn" is cinematic (it does have the Bombay Cinema Orchestra) and has the androgynous vocals of Noah Lembersky. "Slither" is a powerful instrumental-Kale bringing the rhythm with his tablas while Shankar strums away on her sitar. The title track is hypnotic. Sting's "Sea Dreamer" is relaxing. "Ghost Story" is appropriately eerie. "PD7" is a throbbing dancefloor track. The album is also a family affair. Anoushka&her half-sister Norah Jones complement each other in "Easy." Anoushka&her father Ravi are powerfully serene in "Oceanic,Parts 1&2." There are some interesting pieces-"Little Glass Folk" sounds like an Indian take on Western classical music,while "Perfect Rain" is Oriental placidity.
"Breathing Under Water" harmoniously weds Karsh Kale's techno/Asian Massive beats with Anoushka Shankar's serene classical sitar-playing. Their interchange is musically delightful,at once peaceful&erotic,spiritual&sensual. It is like the Hindu belief in the mystical union of Shakti (feminine energy) with Shiva (masculine energy) The album is the musical echo of the love play between them. "Breathing Under Water" is perfect music to have wash over you on Valentine's Day. It's waterdance for the soul,a musical Kama Sutra.

I love Mehdi, Enigma, Karsh Kale etc. and this is a beautiful and rare production that I also enjoy just as much. Like most who stumbled on this beautiful CD, I bought the CD because the CD shop selling it happened to be playing it - and I was immediately captivated and deeply touched by it. Glad I picked it up and highly recommend it.
