The list yet again throws up a little surprise. In amongst the grunge, hip hop and electronic albums populating much of this part of the 1001; suddenly an album of devotional ragas sung in a passionate, strong voice with a fantastic range.
I would say that the only annoyance was that this was that it was another of those albums that was hard to track down. I had to piece it together using a collection of youtube clips. At one point I accidentally clicked the wrong link and ended up listening to a full uninterrupted half hour performance of one of these songs. It's a credit to the music (a) that I didn't notice it had been going on that long, (b) that it held my interest throughout, and (c) that Fateh and his group seem to be able to maintain their intensity across a half hour of non-stop music!
