Yakshini is an amazing journey through well crafted melodies. They consist of stunning ethno acoustics combined with masterful synth textures. The tribal percussion can be almost hypnotizing, as are the reverberating vocal chants.
If you like ambient and downtempo music with some ethnic flair, then you need to place this album near the top of your want list !! Don't delay, buy it now !!
