REVIEWS
YOGA SPIRIT, from singer/chanter Akasha, is an album of timeless mantras, presented in arrangements that meld Eastern instrumentation with Western influences. Akasha's vocals are low pitched with a hushed serenity about them, a little on the order of those of Deva Premal only with more of a whispery quality. The background instrumentation centers around guitar, with a little sarangi and bansuri flute woven into the mix in spots. The gentle rhythmic nature of the music makes it ideal for activities like yoga (as the name implies), where light movement is performed. Although, it's worth mentioning that this would also be perfect for someone looking for a little rest and relaxation, with a spiritual edge.- Music Design In Review
