This is one of the couple of independent albums by the South Indian music composer extraordinaire Illayaraaja. Most of his work is in the form of songs and back-ground score for Tamil movies, and he has done over 600 of them! He’s a very gifted fusion master – combines South Indian classical (karnatic) style with, folk music, gazz and pop. His use of the bass guitar has wowed some prominent western musicians. Check him out, if you are into some eclectic stuff.
