Karsh Kale: Cinema

"The seven-minute title track offers an insightful gaze into the amalgam of universes that Kale has stitched together: the poetic wonderment of a Bansuri flute quickly opens into a guitar-drenched beat, somewhat reminiscent of an older track, 'Break of Dawn.' Mantra singer Vidhi Sharma weaves inside the rhythm beautifully before a cascade of violins emerge, which soon give way to an isolated bass line. The low end trucks along under a feverish pitch of percussion. ... The track that just won't get out of my head is also a throwback of sorts, sneaking into the drum 'n bass territory that helped Kale make his mark. 'Avalanche' also features a longtime friend and singer, Shahid Siddiqui, whose vocals over the piano-led melody are meticulous and brilliant. During moments like these, when Kale's precise production ear and masterful hands strike that magic balance between heavy and light forces, his genius is apparent. For the most part, Cinema strikes the balance perfectly" (Derek Beres, "Global Beat Fusion," Huffington Post, 4/25/11).
