Asana 3: Peaceful Heart

Bill Laswell and other artists > See other albums by this compilation's artists

"The ancient science of yoga meets modern music technology on this compilation of electronic dance grooves, gravelly chants and meditative soundscapes. Electronic music visionary Bill Laswell produced, arranged or performed on four of the seven tracks. And Ashtanga master Pattabhi Jois can be heard offering an opening invocation and the mantra on Om Shantih Shantih Shantih that was recorded in India at the dedication of the Krishnamacharya temple in Cowshika, India.

Along with tabla rhythms, Sanskrit lyrics and that unmistakable East Indian drone, are the Jamaican flavors of dub on I've got Passion, and the sinuous saxophone wails of avant-garde great Pharoah Sanders on the culminating track, Samadhi State. His performance and the track itself are the disc's crowning jewels, capping a funky, mysterious and ethereal record with unbridled joy."
