Hardcore followers of Indian religious philosophy may find much to recommend in these modernizations of traditional Bhakti Yoga chants. But the yogi rock created by Das, along with Jai Uttal and Jim Wilson, may strike nonbelievers as too guileless to survive the electrification process. Ethnic Indian experimentation with external forms is one thing, since it usually redistributes the weight of sufficient cultural baggage to yield interesting results. But this disc begins with a feeling of second-handedness and from there borrows yet again, leaving the listener decidedly shortchanged. ~ Bob Tarte
