Album Description
While other genre labels like Narada and Windham Hill diversified from their new age roots, Real Music has been consistent over the years in providing nothing but the best music for relaxation, meditation and spiritual enhancement. Their most notable recordings come from an Eastern Buddhist mindset, with multi-instrumentalist Karunesh leading the pack on the strength of previous discs Zen Breakfast and Nirvana Cafe. His basic approach to contemplative music involves a blend of exotic textures (bells, chimes, Tibetan bowls, sitar and Chinese instruments) with easy grooves and rich walls of ambience. The new collection's trance inducing instrumentation and sensuous rhythms begins with a few minutes of pure ambience and sitar, before slowly introducing a gentle percussive line ("For the Joy of It All"); Avinash's graceful Indian violin carries a mournful beauty that is also part of the similarly hypnotic, easy grooving "Monsoon's Dance." Bikram's Bansuri flute floats through beautifully in key locations, such as the introduction of "Mount Kailash." While the uninitiated might feel that there's a certain repetitive nature to the tracks (which usually begin with sparse instrumentation before the electricity is turned on), the intention is more to invoke a sense of inner peace than to be truly innovative. The title of the richly textured "Zensual" sums up the mystical intent of the thought provoking exercise. ~ Jonathan Widran, All Music Guide

 My Favorite December 30, 2007
Call of the Mystic is simply the best music CD to come along in years. A must have for any Enlightenment collection.
Absolutely beautiful! October 4, 2007
I heard this music whilst having a massage and just HAD TO HAVE!!! It has not disappointed, on the contrary, I would say this is probably one of my favourite CDs of all time. If you want to be transported to that special place away from the hustle and bustle of daily life, this is for YOU. I will no doubt be purchasing more of Karunesh. And yes... the mystic called...
Karunesh has a way of getting to the core of your being. Thank you Karunesh and thank you Amazon for making it so easy for us to have the music we love.

The pleasure in the feeling of non-existence May 28, 2006
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I heard the song "Monsoon Dance" on sky.fm. I previewed other songs and then bought almost all songs. Others are fine too, just listened once.
It's been 4 days since I bought them. I am not listening to any other song than Monsoon Dance for almost 4 days, day and night.. I am usually obsessed with these kind of mystic songs, listening to one song at a time for days a stretch, even when I sleep.
Thats the effect of the song Monsoon Dance. Truly, the mystic feeling of non-existence is an amazing pleasure. I feel one with the entire universe when I listen to this song.
I wonder what the composer might have gone through to come up with such an amazing piece of music. The Indian violin's effect is rather deep.
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL March 10, 2006

This is one of the most beautiful CDs I have every heard. I bring it everywhere when I need to relax. The sound of the instruments from India are just breathtaking.
 This is great! January 12, 2006

....if you like really strange, annoying German people who try to go "native." This is nothing but commodified exoticism; music for spiritual enhancement my arse....
