Madonna in India. I love the Bombay beat. The
production here is fantastic. The Eastern
rhthyms are making me bounce in my chair. This
could be a real club hit.
A well concieved and executed piece of music,
perfectly produced and recorded. There are
layers upon layers of activity taking place in
this piece to take notice of. The first phrase
of the song is my favorite - a trance like synth
intro in a middle eastern/Indian vein which
morphs into a dance beat and accompanied by a
worldless vocal chant over it. The song develops
into more of a pop piece in the next phrase, but
continues to contain exotic touches to it as
well as dance music flares. The vocalist is
reminescent of Kylie Minogue and Roxette (at
least when singing in English), and has a strong
vocal presence. The instrumental interludes on
the recording helps this to work on several
levels, whether in the dance club, the gym or
the headphones.
I love the use of the stereo field. I love the
synthesisers. I love the drumming. This might be
my new favorite kind of music, this ethnotechno
stuff. Dancing with mustaches and fly button
down shirts with giant starched collars. Yes my
friends, this is the good stuff. And did you
hear the voice on that manasher? What a hot one!

This is a very nice song. The vocals are sweet
and sexy and the song is full of great special
effects. A very lively song, full of great beat
and dance.

i love the percussion on this number, and the
use of synths in a music style that ususally
doesn't have them....wow, this is a fusion of
like five different genres...very cool
Ideal movie music. The opening bars conjure up
images of beautiful vistas. This is a highly
professional production worthy of global
exposure. Fantastic intro vocal melodies. The
main vocal could have come up just a mosquito's
whisker in the mix.
- ibrowze from Penzance, Cornwall, United Kingdom on 30Jan2005
This sounds like a techno song from the desert.
If I were a big magic genie I'd play this
whenever someone rubbed my lamp. I'd also have
backup dancers. And a strobe light. I can't
understand the lyrics. I really like the part
where it sounds all magical. THat part rocks. I
think I would recommend this song for my own
funeral. When everyone is walking out at the end
after they put me in the hole. I think it'd be
inspirational. Great work. :-)

I am really digging this world sound with some
dance and techno sounds thrown in to it...makes
me want to go dancing! Really great beat to this
song. I like the vocals that have come in to the
song now and the lyrics are good, very original.
I really like how there are many changes in this
song. The melody is very catchy. This is a good
energy song and a happy feeling song.
very powerful intro with a nice mix. Kind of a
world dance mix. I could really dig hearing this
in a club. really driving with a great dance
beat. vocals are solid....sounds a lot like
Madonna....nice. breakdown at around 2:30 is
great and builds back up nicely...good
arrangement.....
- mypseth from Albuquerque, New Mexico on 15Jan2005
in the beginning i feel like im running through
the jungle or something....nice...i like the way
u mixed an earthy sound with a techno twist. my
feet are tapping as i'm typing so thats an
excellent sign. very well produced i liked the
left to right play in the beginning it really
grabs your imediate attention, at least from a
reviewing perspective. high marks from me.
I like the mid. eastern feel to the song. Real
spacey sounding. Good programming! Nice female
lead vocals. she has a good voice. Good job on
production, and it really works well.
The hard panning effect right off the top
certainly gets the listener's attention. A
little eastern/middle eastern flavor is present
both in the harmonic content and the choices of
percussion fills at the junction points--the
fast sextuplets in the low tom/kick tone are
unexpected. Good solid vocals--in tune, clear
tone. There are some nice explorations of color,
moving VERY quickly from effect to effect,
keeping interest for the most part--some of the
vocal parts do become a little difficult to pick
out, particularly the lower voices. Good use of
counterpoint against the vocal lines in the
synthesizer. The combinations of colors (i.e.,
the arrangement) are interesting and varied,
especially in points where "something" is about
to surface again but hasn't quite arrived. I
like the fills. The groove is solid,
well-balanced, and powerful. For the most part
the vocals are audible and sung very well, but
there are a few moments where the meaning (in
the low voice, anyway) gets a little harder to
pick up. This is a good solid production, no
worries. Have a good 2005.
The intro is very creative and really set this
song up for it's totally hooky and captivating
verse. the groove to this one got me dancing
right away. The voice is truely kicking
everywhere. The production is good and the
arrangement was pro! I Think you have winner
here. Good Luck!
- Swagg from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada on 6Jan2005
World, elements of East Indian music (the sitar,
the female vocal chant) grab me every time. This
has a big, energetic sound. The lead vocalist
has good chops. Her sound, the straightforward
melody, simple lyrics, and dance beat are
straight out of the the Madonna school of
songwriting. The production is awesome. The
music is jumping and fun to listen to.
Very cool beats, vocals, and production! Sounds
like what Madonna would do if she was more
talented. Really dig what you are doing here and
very danceable. Arrangment and playing is all
top-shelf. You guys are awesome.
I like the Middle Eastern feel to this song.
Great mix for a dance song. Great chanting in
intro. There is a lot going on here musically,
but it all seems to pull together quite well. A
bit over-produced, but it all works. The drums
and percussion sounds really drive the song and
give it an energetic rhythm and beat, good
dynamics through out. Nice bridge with the
Middle Eastern sounds, bringing in back to a
dance beat. I'm really diggin the mood of the
song. I'm dancing in my chair. Vocals are really
good, I'm enjoying every note and chant, you hit
some nice high notes and don't lose pitch.
Energy, passion, rhythm, soul, punch,
conviction, you've got it all. I'm not much of a
club person, but I would be all over this song
if I were. Production is right on, this track
rocks, good luck climbing the charts.
this is definatly a new vibe that I am not used
to, I really appreciate the attempt to be
original. It allowed me to really feel this vibe
and thats what this dance industry needs. This
is definatly different and definately sweet. The
girl chanting is amazing and fits in so well.
Then she comes in and takes over the song. Her
melody is catchy, has a early 90's feel (the
singing) updated with sweet beats and arps
flying everywhere. Good work...no great work.
Respect on originality
- DjRedshirt from Torrance, California on 19Oct2004
Great production, excitement was there. The
arrangment is good. Good bass lines. It would of
been nice to hear the clarity of the vocals-
(middle eastern background screams that is). The
main vocals are nice. The lyrics are catchy. I
listened twice. (NICE). Wow- youve even got a
bit of euro feel to the track. Well done. Please
email me. I own a dance label and release in the
middle east and eastern block countries. I would
be interested. well done.. Subsonic Records
Australia...
One word... Nice. This song grabbed me fromt he
start. Very danceable. There is an element in
the intro that reminds me of the song My Kingdom
by FSOL. Anyway, the chick has a good voice
(which can actually be heard in the mix). The
beat is uplifting and that asian sound is a nice
difference.
I like it. Good job.
- Kwisatz_Haderac from Toronto, Ontario, Canada on 12Oct2004
intro - wow.. tron like.. Very international
appeal man/woman/it! cool so far.. Like the surf
in space attitude your bringing to the dancehall
... bounce bounce bounce bounce.. she's flying
while singing good trick... get down.. like your
funky way.. this proceeds to make you crave for
what you need, and not want.. good lyrics to.
she can sing very well... Love is the power..
you've got that lift.. 5 "kan you feel the
energy, let the music set you free" ... power
on! Perhaps we can sing/rap together one
day..??????????????
very exciting intro - ready, steady..... when it
kicks in, the erge to dance is very high -
groovy track, full of surprises. The main verse
sounds quite simple and conventional. The singer
is very tallented and the production is top
quality. The trumpets sound slightly artificial.
Generally excellent entry
- Phat_T from Brixton, London, United Kingdom on 11Oct2004
This is a bangin feel. Club material. I would
love to see some glowsticks flyin to it. Reminds
me of why I got into the club scene. It's fun,
yet passionate. Great production.
- theblueseason1 from Smithville, New Jersey on 11Oct2004
This is a wonderful track,
great accent vocals as backing..Lots of layers
build up to the main verse. Female vocalist has
a good range, and sings extremely well... very
catchy with a wonderful exotic "BollyWood
feel".. Produced very well, good use of effects
and well arranged. This would have no problems
getting the dance floor moving,... also good as
a potential soundtrack... Excellent
