Artistic accomplishment

"Although not as immediately accessible as albums like the outstanding /Duniya/, I see /Catalogue of Desires/ as Loop Guru's most artistically accomplished album, and fans of ambient music will find much to appreciate here. More substantial than /Fountains of Paradise/, /Catalogue/ showcases Loop Guru's dynamic range, shifting effortlessly from hypnotic grooves to floating atmospheres, and characterized by exotic, organic sounds and a lush chill-room vibe."
A Rather Tame Offering

"There's probably no such thing as a bad Loop Guru cd. However, after hearing Duniya, I can't be faulted for comparing everything else to it. This one doesn't seem to have enough to grab me and make me listen to it. I find myself drifting and that's something I don't do when I'm listening to Duniya. So for some background music that's better than most of the garbage being produced, and, to hear a different side of Loop Guru, this cd is okay. I'm still waiting for something to knock me out like Duniya. None of their other cd's come even close."
