Music for the Heart and Soul.......2003-05-03

I just heard portions from this CD on NPR's Echoes program on my way to work on a cold dreary Saturday morning and the music by these guys made my day - if you need something to lift your spirits, transport you to a place of peace and encourage you to appreciate the beauty around you, this is the prescription you need. Very highly recommended.

REALLY ANNOYING.......2007-01-23

The sleeve is really pretty and it looked good, but what was called by one reviewer as a sweet voice, is really just this annoying high pitched, i don't know. Really cheesy this album. i was disappointed.

Well it's too late.......2004-11-07

Being pelted in the eyeball and forehead by small ice pellets yesterday afternoon, the lush sounds of Anjali entertained me as I walked to the post office. I didn't know what to expect, but despite the cold, wind and rain-ice pellet mix, and the growing feeling of having a hollow head (the strange sounds of the inside of your head when it feels hollow are none too comforting) Anjali managed to lift my sagging spirits (sagging both due to the dismal weather but more due to the results of the recent US elections) and give me the energy to trudge on through the inclement conditions. Coming home later, the music (Anjali's elegant, soothing voice, particularly) served me well in both activity (cooking, cleaning, and other things for which one needs outside inspiration) and in contemplation (writing letters, listening to Anjali in headphones). It is an album that fits many moods and circumstances, and one of the rare few one can listen to straight through. Perhaps as a matter of circumstance, "Rainy Day" proves to be my favorite.

original and just fantastic!.......2004-03-19

I got to hear this album through a friend of mine, and was astounded at its sheer brilliance, It is so sonic and very lush sounding with a lot of instrumentation from strings to funky sitars and I love anjali's sweet voice, it sounds a lot like a James Bond movie soundtrack, I would highly recommend this to anyone who loves discovering new and fantastic music! The best album from 2003 without a doubt.

One of the best cds to come out in 2003..........2003-11-20

'World of Lady A' imho is one of the best cds to come out in 2003... It's pretty solidly diverse from the first track to the last track... And it's great to see an Indian Lady like herself pushing boundaries in the world of electronica music... I highly recommend you buying this cd and if you are a lounge DJ - I especially recommend you pick it up - DJ Dakini-NYC

I'm in love with Anjali..........2003-10-20

I just got back from Virgin Tower where I heard this cd in it's entirety... I'm picking it up next month (when I have the cash)... See, I'm a dj, DJ Dakini-NYC, and her music off this cd ill fit perfectly into almost any set... If you see it at a listening station, give it a spin, almost guaranteed you're going to want to buy it - peace - DJ Dakini-NYC...

strawberry mousse.......2002-04-29

anjalis music is very.....chill. i love strawberry mousse the best....havent found anyone who doenst love that song. its very sensual. but all her music is very calming but awakens you, as it sounds so nice. her music is varied too, so you dont get tired of the cd by the 3rd song.

A Palette Musically.......2001-05-04

Anjali, what a great name, sounds delicious like lemon jelly...hmmm, even her name reminds me of chill-out music. `Anjali' is her first proper album, before that, the release of `Sheer Witchery' raised the eyebrows of many artists/DJ and critics alike. Listen to this gorgeous album to find out why. The first single `Lazy Lagoon' would have been such a chill-out classic if it gets enough radio airplay. It is so much exquisite and intricate than that insipid chill-out `anthem' of 1999, `At the River'. The rest of the album is not really as catchy as `Lazy Lagoon', maybe it is because of her Indian origin, her taste remains eclectic. There are just so many ideas on the album that you gotta regurgitate before you can fully digest them. A very diverse album that is worthy of anyone's attention.

Album Description

Brahmacharini Mirabai is a nun of Yogoda Satsanga Society of India (Self-Realization Fellowship) founded by Paramahansa Yogananda. She is well known for her beautiful interpretations of classical Indian music. In 1997 she made a special pilgrimage from her native India to the ashrams founded by Sri Yogananda in America, and it was during this visit that the bhajans (hymns of devotion) on this CD were recorded. In these beautiful chants to various aspects of God, including the Divine Mother and the Lord as Guru, Brahmacharini Mirabai voices the timeless spiritual consciousness and soul-yearning that have characterized India's culture since ancient times.

On her debut album, self-proclaimed "voodoo queen" Anjali successfully manipulates and fuses a diverse range of musical and cultural influences, from hip-hop in "Ju Ju" to Bollywood in "Maharani 1." She creates a hybridized sound very much her own, with touches of slick production and organic Eastern instrumentation throughout. It would be easy to overenthuse about Anjali's musically descriptive style, but it is perhaps best to highlight two differently paced songs to her range and approach. "Feline Woman" is a dance-floor shaker, with heavy breaks and killer flute line, while "Astra" is a haunting, cinematic ballad with spellbinding strings and an equally enchanting vocal--both are wonderful examples of Anjali's thoroughly bewitching ways. --Amazon.co.uk
