Review by pedro1985 Apr 04, 2007 (edited over 2 years ago)
"Swara Mandala" is the first CD from Makyo (Gio Fazio) that I heard and I must say that I am from now his fan! The whole CD is the perfect fusion of electronic and world music. This is one of the best CD's in this style that I've heard. Makyo puts a lot of creativity in all these tracks productions, every track is different. For example on this album we have downtempo progressive trance on "Clarity (Soft Prana Mix)", beatiful ambient on "Clarity (Melting Snow Mix)" and sounds like Ishq - "Skin As Soft As Starlight"; but in my opinion the best track from this CD is "Shalale" - it's a pure world music, but with psychedelic emotion. I love it.
