Erotic Rhythms from Earth [Enhanced]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
If the afterworld includes a red-light district, Erotic Rhythms from Earth would qualify as its soundtrack. The third recording from Austin, Texas programmer/multi-instrumentalist Shane O'Madden beckons you into an off-focus world of amorphous boundaries, one that hovers somewhere between eternity and soft-core carnality. Offering an assortment of quirky temptations too intriguing to resist, O'Madden blurs Middle Eastern textures (principally generated via violin) and ambient electronic wayfaring with sultry, unhurried trip-hop textures, subtle female cooing, and understated rhythms. It all combines to exude a beguiling mood of faint danger and fashionable decadence, where the final destination is a bazaar of hidden, delicious pleasures. If the disc's arresting cover image speaks to you, so, too, will this exotic, oddly accessible slice of imaginative trip-hop. Worth repeated plays are the mysterious, X-Files-in-India groove of "City of Pleasures," the propulsive beat of "Falling from Grace," the spray of colored light stirred by the growling rhythm of "Organic Beauty," and the erotic whispers of "Clear with Fantasy." The whole thing is strangely seductive. --Terry Wood

4 out of 5 stars Mmmm.. makes you wanna !.......2007-02-21

So I have a couple of Govindas albums. I understand their style, their approach, their inspirations. And yes, this particular cd was a bit different from their others. They begin to draw an exotic dance with their instruments. They tease you with the vocals. They are magnificent!

They can provide you with an upbeat experience, or a downtempo drama of your life. They are also great live if you ever have the opportunity to see them. I think that each cd has its own unique flare. So you own a couple of them already? So what! This one is worth the buy... this one is my favorite.

5 out of 5 stars Very sensual.......2006-10-17

I've just recently started exploring this kind of music after having Enigma in my collection for a long time. I bought this CD after a little research and sampling and absolutely love it, I played it the entire weekend. It flows nicely and has a wonderful techno middle eastern feel to it...great for lovemaking or setting the mood for lifestyle scene. I'd definitely recommend it.

5 out of 5 stars sensuous.......2006-04-01

I've had this cd since it came out. Ironically I wasn't even familiar with this artist. What attracted me to it was the cover and I guess the title since I was looking for something erotic yet ambient. I took a big chance because I wasn't able to return it after it was open. I have never been more pleased with a music purchase as I was with this particular album. In fact I still am, it is one of my most favorite cds and it always will be. If you like ambient music with a touch of Middle Eastern flare accompanied with an erotic, and sensuous voice you must get this album. You won't regret it.

5 out of 5 stars To Mr. Oswald Placers.......2006-01-09

SHAZAM! I'm giving HIM 5 stars for that hot review! Reviews like that make me go out and get the music! Oh, and the samples are pretty good, too!

5 out of 5 stars exotic/erotic....it works.......2005-09-28

Like some other people, I first heard Govinda's work in the Buddha Bar compilations. This prompted me to buy three albums of his, all excellent: this one (Erotic Rhythms from the Earth), Worlds Within, and Entwined and Entranced.

I highly recommend all three, though perhaps this one is my favorite. His lush, middle-eastern influenced melodies, combined with modern, sultry beats make this CD the perfect album to put on anytime you want to enhance your mood -- or upgrade your friends' musical tastes.
