ShivaNova
Secret Chants (CD)

SNPP2008

CD: 100% second hand
booklet: 98% digipack

Led by Priti Paintal, ShivaNova brings together virtuoso improvising musicians from Europe, Asia and Africa who integrate elements of jazz, classical and Asian styles to create the band’s trademark unique sound.
Secret Chants is their sixth album. Its five tracks (plus a radio edit of the title track) are each very different but with an almost cinematic overtone unifying them. The upbeat opener Eleventh Heaven Dance builds to a frantic vocal climax which is almost impossible to stand still to, whilst Nine in a Line is more gentle with a beautiful lilting melody brought to life by Alex Teymour Housego’s flute and Ros Stephen’s violin.
R.N. Prakash’s intricate drumming is a wonder throughout the album (especially on Dance for Prakash), but it is the title track and Indian Keertan that stand out – haunting, ethereal, brooding, these are truly evocative cinema soundscapes.
