First got this in 2001 and have played it at least once a month since then. Very evocative of traditional Indian fare without being overproduced new-agey drivel. Great addition to the library of anyone looking for expansive music.

Suvarna's FIRE OF THE ORACLE.......2001-04-16

I finally received this final version CD long ago from Etherean Music after being sent a pre-release demo from a good friend. If you love female vocals - ethereal yet passionate blended with electric violin and then intertwined with Indian-raga, beat-driven, mantras, eclectic synths, and an air of deep mystery -- THEN BY ALL MEANS GRAB THIS NOW!! Suvarna Freeman's vocals and violin are a luscious experience!! Ravi Freeman handles keys, kora, guitar, kaval, bass, percussion, chants, overtones, and loops. THIS RELEASE IS JUST TOO COOL!! It avoids all that cheesy gestalt of, "let's-rip-off-Indian-traditional-music-and-make-a-fast-buck-disco-drivel" stylings, all too prevalent in world music -- BUT INSTEAD delivers a truly unique listening experience. Suvarna, you are !!MAGIC!! and your voice has lifted this seasoned reviewer into planes of new sonic nirvanas -- please do this again!! Thanks! -- Eclectic Earwig Reviews

The 7:30 "Completion" song was AWESOME, a meditative lilting of ecstasy unbound, solemn, pure light in sound, and to hear Suvarna's spoken words were as if an angel had come to my side -- ooh, serious athrilling goosebumps -- oh for this song to have lasted three times longer. Next CD, Suvarna, fill a whole CD with such!! Let your soul fly for a good 18 minutes or so. Do it! Suvarna, you are !!MAGIC!! and your voice has lifted this seasoned reviewer into planes of new sonic nirvanas -- please do this again!! Thanks! -- Eclectic Earwig Reviews

Excellent musicians, nothing new..........2002-08-25

Being a drummer, Virgil Donati is one of my heroes...when i heard about this band, i immediately bought both albums, and i must say that its a kind of music not new (tends to power metal) but played by excellent musicians: Donati`s playing is impecable as always, Mark Boals voice kicks [bottom], Philip Benoy is totally stuck to Donati`s feet, the guitars sound pretty good and lots of keyboards...Power metal is not my favorite style of music, but i can definitely hear this..

Insane shredding-tiresome vocals.......2001-12-27

If you are a fan of mindboggling neoclassical shredding, this cd belongs in your collection. Being a fan of Yngwie, Symphony X, and others, I knew that any cd that has George Bellas and Vitalij Kuprij playing together on it would be one to have. The musicianship here is astounding-both of these guys play their respective instruments with amazing speed and precision. The addition of Mark Boals on the vocals reminds me of Yngwie's early days on works such as Trilogy and more recently Alchemy. The drumming and bass surpass the work on those, adding more punch to the shredfest. The only knock I have on this cd are the somewhat shallow, Trilogy-esque lyrics and Boals' vocals. He has amazing range, but he sounds so sterile when he sings. I just don't here much emotion and the lyrics do not help this. I would put this ahead of Yngwie's latest due to better production and wilder solos (particularly the keyboards), but this band needs to work on the lyrics and/or total song arrangement to start to compete with newer neoclassical bands like Symphony X or Adagio.
