Westerners like Jai Uttal and Krishna Das have become enormously popular by writing non-traditional music to accompany incantations to Shiva, Ram, Radha and a whole stable of deities. But where Das makes simple, heartfelt music to sing along to, Uttal aims for sophisticated ethnic fusions that are as appropriate for the dance floor as for a kirtan gathering. Uttal was already prominent in the field of world music when the 1997 release of SHIVA STATION brought him a large mainstream audience, bolstered by the growing popularity of yoga and chant.

Aided by producer and musical adventurer Bill Laswell, Uttal freely mixes classical Indian melodies with elements of funk, trance, dub, and an intoxicating feeling of controlled chaos. The passionate vocals sound largely improvised, enhanced by supportive backing from the Pagan Love Orchestra and samples of wandering street musicians of Bengal (to whom Uttal paid homage on his 1994 release BEGGARS AND SAINTS). A lush blend of instruments includes banjo, sitar, tabla, trombone, and electric guitar. There's even a power ballad here, with soulful vocals recalling Sting. Whether you're a devotee of Krishna, or just looking for something to dance to, SHIVA STATION is well worth tuning in.

Respected dotar player and chant master Jai Uttal proves once again you don't need a highly self-conscious message or calculated vigilance to successfully mix music of East and West. Uttal approaches his unique blend of jazz, Indian, and world music just as any experienced musician long familiar with his instrument would: as a jam session meant to spin a groove or draw on inspiration rather than highlight a single genius. Shiva Station is a testament to this refreshing approach, somehow mixing a laid-back Miles-style horn with a smooth-jazz dotar, somehow slipping a wah-wah pedal into a reggae-doused groove, somehow laying the rock and funk under ancient Indian chant. All this with a dash of banjo, trombone, and violin and the styles cook up a stew surprisingly tasty. Uttal's secret? It may be that he approaches music without apologizing for being Western while allowing inspiration from the East to flow through him authentically. He locks into the Indian tradition in the name of musical spirituality rather than a star's ego and the effect is mesmerizing. His backing band, the Pagan Love Orchestra, reflects this understated aura as well. It features some of the finest musicians from America and beyond in collaborative, eclectic jamming--most notably on "Malkouns" and "Bhajore"--that will blow you away. --Amazon.comJai Uttal, a sacred music composer, recording artist, multi-instrumentalist, and ecstatic vocalist, combines influences from India with influences from rock, folk, hip-hop and jazz creating a stimulating and exotic multi-cultural fusion that is truly world spirit music. "Mondo Rama", Jai's latest album with his band the Pagan Love Orchestra was nominated for a 2003 Grammy award as "Best New Age Album".

Recorded at Spark Studios, Emeryville, California.

4 stars Relaxing
At first the music is very 'strange', but after you listen to it for a few minutes, it becomes very peaceful and relaxing.

Malcolm Singleton Be There CD  (2008)

Shiva Station album
CD $17.69
Malcolm Singleton is back in fine form on “Be There”, the full-length follow-up to his highly successful debut EP, “This Feeling”. Containing ten original songs, along with two bonus tracks, “Be There” prominently displays Malcolm’s talents as a songwriter, musician and vocalist. The songs for this project were shaped throughout the Southeast and Northeast as Malcolm traveled to live and play in a variety of prestigious venues in New York, Boston, Atlanta, and Nashville, among other cities. He has been a featured performer at Nashville’s famous Bluebird Cafe and hip clubs Fuel, Lyrix and The Flying Saucer. Around Boston he has hit area hotspots The Burren, The Lizard Lounge, All Asia and The Performance Center at The Berklee College of Music. He has made his mark on the New York City music scene with solid performances at venues such as Googie’s Lounge above The Living Room and The Cutting Room. He was selected by the New York division of ASCAP to participate in a showcase produced by the National Academy of Popular Music/Songwriters’ Hall of Fame and had a song included on their annual compilation CD. Covering a variety of styles and tempos, Malcolm easily navigates between thoughtful ballads (“A Road I Can’t Go Down”, “For Crying Out Loud”), tough rockers (“Tear It Down”, “I Blame You”) and pure pop confection (“I Want To Be On The Radio”, “Be There”). Each tightly-constructed song brims with creative inspiration and is delivered with powerful intensity, offering memorable melodies and strong hooks. Utilizing a variety of studios and locations (including Murfreesboro, Tennessee and Muscle Shoals, Alabama), the majority of music was recorded at Musiek Entertainment in Harvest, Alabama and Big Mack’s Studio in Spring Valley, Alabama (Malcolm’s home studio). The production is richly layered and thoughtful of Malcolm’s gifts as a multi-dimensional ...
