"I don't remember how I even found this CD. I had never heard of A.R. Rahman but after sampling the music and reading the reviews I decided to buy it. What a revelation! The music is truly a timeless blend of eastern and western. It is at the same time powerful, sensual, deep, primitive, modern and melodic. Rahman blends primitive-sounding drums with lush orchestration and Indian and Chinese instruments. This is one CD of which I do not tire, even after I've had it on "repeat" in my CD player while I'm doing other things. Highly recommended."
Ethereal music!

"I noticed Rahmans name in the initial credits of the movie and I grew curious.
Having grown up in India, I always had the deepest respect for Rahman. This, however, is out of the world! Shorn of cheesy Bollywood film lyrics, his music rises to the highest levels. Beautiful amalgamation of eastern and western instruments.
And it perfectly matches the ambience of the movie.

"What can you expect from a genius? A matchless performance! Hence, when the music wizard of India, A R Rahman, who is indeed a master of instrumentals, delivers and album that is chiefly instrumental-oriented, you just have to listen to it and get mesmerized by the power of his music. To the best of my knowledge, this album is not available in India (surprisingly), hence, when I saw it on Amazon, i ordered it without a second thought. Listening to this tunes have been a great experience, especially the 'warriors of peace' and 'dacoit duel'. A must have for not only a Rahman fan, but also for anyone who likes instrumentals."
