Description
In early 2004
Krishna Das asked
Walter Becker to work with him on an album that would include only one Chant / Mantraand would flow musically through various traditions in the style of a Suite. Walter, whose work with Steely Dan includes some of the seminal recordings of the last 50 years agreed and said "Only someone with such a warped sense of humor like me would get into a crazy ' hindoo' scene like this."
Recorded in three days in November 2004 at Avatar Studios in New York, a choir of 70 and an orchestra of 20,
Krishna Das (Vocals and Harmonium),
Walter Becker (Bass / Co-producer), Def Leppard's Rick Allen (Drums), Ty Burhoe (Tabla) and
David Nichtern (Guitar, Co-producer and well known composer "Midnight at the Oasis"). The result: A Mantric Suite in 4 Parts that seamlessly evolves from Western Classical to Indian to Rock n Roll to South African Township.
