Our Take

In a world full of cookie-cutter tracks and mundane melodies, Shakti with John McLaughlin's "Natural Elements" is a breath of fresh air. This album is like a musical journey through the serene landscapes of India, with each note and rhythm painting a vivid picture of nature's beauty.

McLaughlin's intricate guitar work is the perfect counterpart to the mesmerizing sounds of the Indian instruments. From the mesmerizing sitar to the pulsating tabla, each element is carefully woven together to create a mesmerizing tapestry of sound.

Tracks like "Face to Face" and "Come On Baby Dance With Me" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend Western and Indian musical traditions, creating a unique and captivating sound that is both familiar and exotic.

One standout feature of this album is the improvisational nature of the music. Each track feels like a spontaneous jam session, with the musicians feeding off each other's energy and creativity. It's this raw and unfiltered approach to music-making that sets Shakti with John McLaughlin apart from other bands.

Overall, "Natural Elements" is a must-listen for anyone looking to expand their musical horizons and experience something truly special. So grab a cup of chai, sit back, and let the mesmerizing sounds of Shakti with John McLaughlin transport you to a world of natural beauty and musical bliss.
