so can someone give me a rough idea of the lyrics of the song i've had
looping for hours now [1]?
1. Avial's "aadu pambe" - http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=FKE5_6QDX6c
So I got the CD (in 1 day, an e-commerce record for me).
From the liner notes for this song:
<q>
The title of the song has been taken from a reference on 'Raising of
Kundalini' through Yoga. Here, however, it simply means attaining higher
knowledge - learning to live amicably with nature.
The forests have disappeared and time has come to a close for people who
live there. The once nectar-filled beehives are dry and tribal women in
their prime have been deflowered. Why do people fail to see the signs of
desertification? For it is apparent in the fall of a mighty elephant or
the wail of a deer. Look! The tusks are now part of someone's treasure
and the lake-facing plot of land is home to the rich, as the tale is
spun somewhat differently in the real world.
</q>
First impressions of the album:
I'm very impressed - with the musicianship as well as the fact that they
sound like they have a coherent message in each of the songs. The
production is very slick - but it tends to emphasize (in the CD version
at least - compression artefacts mean that the sound in the youtube
version is completely different in feel, even assuming it was the same
mix that was used) the rock aspect of things, leaving the folksy bits
and the electronica in the background.
Definitely a band to keep an eye on.
