In early 2004 Krishna Das asked Walter Becker to work with him on an album that would include only one Chant / Mantra and would flow musically through various traditions in the style of a Suite.
Recorded in three days in November 2004 at Avatar Studios in New York, a choir of 70 and an orchestra of 20, Krishna Das (Vocals and Harmonium), Walter Becker (Bass / Co-producer), Def Leppard's Rick Allen (Drums), Ty Burhoe (Tabla) and David Nichtern (Guitar, Co-producer and well known composer Midnight at the Oasis).
The result: A Mantric Suite in 4 Parts that seamlessly evolves from Western Classical to Indian to Rock n Roll to South African Township.
