5 tracks. Running time 71:24 The curious thing about releases from Indra is that the cover art suggests it'll be new age music but many of his albums are actually melodic EM with strong Berlin School influences. Such is the case with Kali (the first disc of a special edition set) which is another of Indra's take on traditional sequence based electronic music a la Tangerine Dream or Klaus Schulze. After a couple of run of the mill tracks a taste of something more substantial comes in the piece “Ritual Night Dancer”. This is a slow burn piece beginning with slow winds blowing across the soundfield and a resonant rhythm in the background. A percussive and hammering rhythmic section then begins to march like a person on a focused mission. Almost imperceptibly the mood becomes more intense with the addition of dramatic synth refrains. One thing that sets Indra apart from others doing this kind of music is a lightness of touch, even a jolliness at times, which makes his music particularly accessible. Indeed, the track “U Hunger” ventures toward techno territory. Distorted night-time sounds quickly lead into a hypnotic animalistic percussive rhythm. Around this whistling wind effects occasionally rush by and plinky notes play out a melody conveying a sense of hungering or yearning for something. Closing the album is “Fearless”, a piece with an implacable feel in the hard syncopated rhythms and spacey washes. It's like a merging of human and machine elements; there's an undercurrent of emotion as resolute as machines carrying out their limited actions. Fans of sequencing will find much to like in Kali. This is the genre that Indra seems most comfortable with judging by the number of his releases in this vein.
