The Spirit Of Yoga, by Ben Leinbach and featuring Jai Uttal and Manose, is a gift of precious serenity for any meditator or healer. Leinbach composed all of the music and plays synthesizers, harmonium (reed organ), acoustic guitar, bells and chimes, tamboura (Bulgarian fretted lute), and sound effects on the album. Jai Uttal does vocals and plays dotar (an Iranian, two-stringed, long necked lute), Bond Bergland plays electric guitar, and Monose Singh's incredible bamboo flute weaves magic throughout.
The dreamlike drone and the mystical flute will soothe and comfort you, if it doesn’t send you right out of your body! The Spirit Of Yoga might just as well have been named Music for Astral Projection. Great album!
