Customer Review - "Having sat down in a stressed out state, totally shattered from a hard days work in the busy city of London, I was put into a total mode of relaxation. This compilation of tracks by these two truly inspirational characters allowed me to have the greatest hour of rest that I have had in my life. It controls both sides of music; the traditional Indian music along with the Western style of music. This is the reason why I myself enjoyed it so much as I got a feel of being in both worlds at the same time. The title of the album, Drums on Fire, sums up the CD totally. The way Sivamani plays the drums is unlike anyone that I have ever heard before in my life. He makes the person listening feel as if they can completely trust him, and let him guide the way through his music. The music is amazing. There are no words in it so it is totally up to you how you interprate the music. I actually felt that I was sitting in a meditating position surrounded by a circle of fire. I could not see or hear the past, present or future. I was in a deep yet relaxed mode of concentration. I recomend this album to everyone. It is suitable for anyone as can be interpreted in many ways."
