Product Description

Anoushka Shankar's 2005 album "Rise" marks a significant milestone in her career, as it is her first self-composed, self-produced work. This album is a testament to Anoushka's artistic evolution, showcasing her desire to create music that fully represents her identity. With a duration of just over an hour, "Rise" features nine tracks that blend traditional Indian influences with contemporary textures and electronic elements, creating a unique and progressive sound.

The album opens with "Prayer In Passing" and closes with "Ancient Love," taking the audience on a journey through a variety of moods and styles. Tracks like "Red Sun" and "Sinister Grains" incorporate earthy ambiences and deep textures, while "Voice Of The Moon" showcases the acidic tone of a shenai, an Indian double reed instrument. Anoushka's mastery of the sitar is evident throughout, as she weaves intricate melodies and rhythms that captivate and enthrall.

"Rise" earned Anoushka Shankar her second Grammy nomination, highlighting the critical acclaim and appreciation the album has received. Fans and critics alike have praised the album for its brilliant tapestries of sound, beautiful compositions, and entertaining arrangements. Whether you're a long-time fan of Anoushka Shankar or new to her music, "Rise" offers a compelling exploration of her artistic vision and a delightful listening experience.

Naked: Sitar Masterpiece
5 out of 5 stars

The 'Album Version' of 'Naked' is an absolutely breathtaking piece of sitar music. Anoushka Shankar has truly outdone herself with this masterpiece. I initially got Anoushka Shankar - Rise as a freebie on CD and then stumbled upon this remix EP on vinyl not long after. I was thrilled they included the original 'Naked' LP track as well, because honestly, none of the other mixes were up to par. They just didn't enhance Anoushka Shankar's already flawless music, in my humble opinion. 'Naked' sounds absolutely divine on this pressing. That's why I ended up buying a total of five copies at Virgin Megastore in Times Square. They were on sale and only costed $2 plus tax each. Back then, vinyl was hardly popular, let alone such a unique release like this - except for me, of course 😉😂. Anyway, 'Naked' has this incredible ability to touch a sacred place within your soul that most other music can't reach. It's so captivatingly deep, transcendent, and hypnotic. I can't recommend it enough 😇👍.
Remixes Outshine Originals

The remixes certainly bring something extra to the table, I must say I enjoy them more than the original tracks. However, since a couple of these remixes are already included in the Rise album, if you're a fan of her less electronic-focused work, I'd suggest just picking up that one. I initially had the promo version of the album which didn't include the remixes, so I decided to check this out.
