The latest release from The Temple Bhajan Band is a blast. Sura Dasa leads his clan of love junkies through a series of energetic fun chants that take his devotion to new levels.
For those of you who aren't familiar with TBB, these guys are the musical ambassadors of the Krishna Consciousness in Los Angeles. This time around, they have taken their music to
previously unexplored heights with exciting instrumentations, that include sitar, heavier percussion, cello/bass and keyboard tracks. It's a fun and sweet experience and the shakti rides
high here. I like the way the album is produced by Eddie Young and the music has some really surprising moments that will pop holes in your bolsters. The sitar tracks by Marty Lieberman
really add something substantial to the mix here and you can't say enough about the devotional energy that goes into an album like this. The music doesn't always sound perfect, but when
the energy is so authentic it becomes irresistible.
I recommend this album for all devotional bhakti yogis out there and for a special rockin' fun experience listen to " Rake Krishna Mare Ke" and turn up the volume. Also check out
Mahalaxmi dasi's singing on " Khoda Nitai " for a taste of some sweet nectar.
