Mars Lasar - Karma (2001)

Close

I must admit that I only occaisionally like all of the music on a Mars Lasar CD, but this one is a real exception. In the liner notes the artist states that he "thought about this recording for many years", and the effort really shows!! He goes on to write a better description of the music than I could ever provide: "the fusion of ancient instruments from Africa, India and the Middle East, and the ethereal sound design all come together to create a true feeling of oneness, the outcome excited me even more than I had originally anticipated". Well, yeah. Mars Lasar plays keyboards and piano, and provides programming and sound design for all the pieces. He is joined by Kelly Hansen on guitars. This stuffy description does not do justice to the fact that the music itself includes very dense, rich landscapes including natural sounds and samples from middle eastern music. The CD is best appreciated by listening to it from beginning to end, since many of the pieces blend into each other. Make some time to sit down and listen to this music as an experience. You won't be disappointed….
