| | Anant Jesse Mantrica CD Anant Jesse Discography of CDs
 (2 Customer Reviews)
The sleeve bills the album as "a bliss-ride thru the ancient, the modern, the electric, and the Vedic," and for once the hype isn't overstated. You name it -- it's here, from Western alternative rock to electronica, Indian neo-classical, worldbeats of different types, chants, even ambient music. And the thing is, it all fits together seamlessly. While the music is meant to be spiritual, to the average listener it's a fascinating journey, as the pieces -- the shortest runs seven and a half minutes, the longest almost 13 minutes -- unfold, morph, and take on different shapes and colors; for anyone expecting a lightweight new age disc, it's really quite a shock. Drummer and percussionist Jesse (formerly a member of Dramarama) has assembled a fascinating band comprised of American and Indian musicians who work beautifully together under his direction, and his sense of arrangement is inspired throughout. Even "Savasana," which revolves around one chord with overtones and thoughtful improvisations, never drags. The players give their utmost and never fail to glean new levels of understanding from the material, with "Sri Rudnam" making a jolting, upbeat start and "Maha Mrtyunjaya Mantra" pushing all manner of musical envelopes. Jesse knows when to program and when to use real percussion; he has a remarkable command of musical styles and he makes it all work in a way few have been able to before. ~ Chris Nickson

| | Mylo Destroy Rock & Roll CD (2004) International Version
Mantrica music CDs
$12.79
Destroy Rock & Roll presents another success story in the genre of bedroom electronica. Isle of Skye's Myles MacInnes recorded this debut album entirely at home with relatively basic computer software, and the resulting 14 tracks are every bit as compelling as contemporaneous efforts from like-minded electronic artists Daft Punk, Lemon Jelly, and the Orb. Though Mylo is a bit of a musical chameleon in that he raids influences from acid house to ambient techno to downtempo trip-hop, the album is held quite cohesively together by a smart sense of humor and what might be called a case of the warm fuzzies. These warm fuzzies are most apparent in the smooth beats, funky grooves, funny voice samples, and cute sound effects that tone down even the album's most aggressive moments. The most obvious comedy is found in the potty-mouthed cut-and-paste affair "Drop the Pressure" and in an evangelist ridiculously calling out "sinners" like Duran Duran and REO Speedwagon over goofy lo-fi grooves on "Destroy Rock & Roll." While album highlight "In My Arms" isn't blatantly funny, it's sure to bring a smile to any fan of 1980s Top 40. The track is an addictive, somehow soulful mashup of Kim Carnes' ...
