Taal - (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) Well as usual I thought I would challenge some to listen to something rather different, but that you hopefully will find enjoyable and interesting. Give it a chance before you give up, there are some very interesting tracks. I was originally introduced to this album when at a Hifi manufacturers, the chap I was seeing popped the CD of it on saying “You must have a listen to this, it’s great”. I was immediately taken with it, it is rather different being the music from a quite famous Bollywood film, but it is quite accessible and the tracks are varied. It is extremely well recorded with big dynamic range. I believe most of the songs are based on traditional Indian folk and love songs. A R Rahman is famous in his own right. open.qobuz.com/album/pg34185br8l1btidal.com/browse/album/159154175

I really struggle with this genre of music. But I will say that so far that 2nd track on the Spotify sampler has mesmerizing female vocals.

Superb acoustic recording, very nicely done and yes, made more compelling from that alone. A bit of left/right ping pong going on there rather than a proper soundstage. The female vocals on track 3 are especially good. I like track 5 best for its overall feel. Some nice bass on track 8. 3/5 but CTM is so boring!

Very enjoyable. 4/ 5 I've been " exposed" to quite a bit of Indian music, from Ravi Shankar onwards. I was even asked - by a good friend I hasten to add - to be the " token honkey" in his otherwise all Indian band, and yes, he had already heard me play. He also introduced me to one of the world's greatest voices of all time, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, who possessed a six-octave vocal range.

Really pleased you enjoyed it, a mixed bag of reviews as usual, not that I am surprised by that.
