Shakti "Joy" (1/2)

[homeworldmusic]

oh.my.god. I bought this after being a Mahavishnu Orchestra fan and this intro just made my brain go to a happy place. never could give the full LP much of a repeat listen, but the first couple of minutes were worth the price of the album. ingrained in my brain.

[elephanta2]

It's good!

[dann3th3manni3]

I would definitely recommend buying this album. It's available on iTunes for only $3. Three tracks; about an hour's worth of music. Great stuff.

[elephanta2]

Yup.

Joining indians was a big mistake dude.

[Dynamitrios]

my goodness... i feel sexy right now just by listening to the music.... full power ahead !!!

[elephanta2]

Yeah, MacLaughlin and other members are just amazing, really professional!

[escaflowne3]

this is exactly the kind of music i was looking for...kickass tablas and guitar

[elephanta2]

This unit is very unique as much as Mahavishnu Orchestra.

[umgarris1]

This is by far the best Shakti on youtube

[elephanta2]

Thanks a lot for listening, yes, their music is very nice, not inferior to Mahavishnu Orchestra.

Saw Mr. McLaughlin on Tuesday! He was really good, but this is exceptional

[elephanta2]

"Exceptional"? You made it mistake to "special" on the comment or McLaughlin did not play well different from the 70's.

[DeviCortez]

@elephanta2 Huh?

[DeviCortez]

Respond to this video... All I am saying is this performance is fantastic, where as the music he performed the other night...I didn't think was as interesting....but that's just my opinion. 

[elephanta2]

I see.

[drumcatf8]

total greatness

[elephanta2]

It has not been a long time since I knew Shakti, really great group!
