The Ananda Shankar Experience and State of Bengal - Walking On
Review by Amit Sharma
The album Walking On by Ananda Shankar Experience and State of Bengal is an exceptional fusion of traditional Indian music with contemporary electronic beats. The album features a unique blend of sitar, tabla, and electronic sounds that create an immersive and captivating listening experience.
The album starts off strong with the track "Tori," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The use of the sitar and tabla in this track is impressive, and the electronic beats add a modern touch to the traditional Indian sounds.
As the album progresses, tracks like "Raghupati" and "Planes" showcase the versatility of the artists and their ability to blend different genres seamlessly. The use of vocal samples in "Planes" adds an interesting layer to the track and keeps the listener engaged.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Ananda Shankar Experience." The track features a hypnotic sitar melody accompanied by electronic beats that gradually build up to a powerful crescendo. The track is a testament to the artists' ability to create a seamless blend of traditional and modern sounds.
