&#34;lightsweetcrude [...] just released its debut album, &#34;Listen to the Colour&#34; and it’s a solid calling card. Alternately visceral and meditative, the music here will appeal to fans of groups like Remember Shakti or the Mahavishnu Orchestra. And adding additional firepower to the affair are several heavies [...]: guitarists <a href="spotify:artist:0P6TEBXyjHGGl0QxDhbTUv" data-name="Fareed Haque">Fareed Haque</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:2RbMOnpbQqUjejSB3Uwmzl" data-name="Rez Abbasi">Rez Abbasi</a>, tabla player <a href="spotify:artist:7erYc52BoxlqnPYSJNyFSY" data-name="Ravi Naimpally">Ravi Naimpally</a>, bassist <a href="spotify:artist:0qtrHMGRIFNblMgORqVANM" data-name="Ian De Souza">Ian De Souza</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:01uj1x2fcIhzaw0xm3OwEf" data-name="Amir Amiri">Amir Amiri</a>, who plays the exquisite-sounding santur, an ancient 72-string instrument used in Persian classical music.&#34; - Errol Nazareth, Toronto Sun, Oct. 14th, 2011

“This collection of music exists to celebrate the Raga – that most ancient, most perfect set of instructions and specifications with regard to musical mood, movement, and pitch – and to fuse it with Western sounds, forms and vibes. […] The word Raga comes from the Sanskrit word for colour, “rang”, and we are often asked to imagine the Raga as being a sonic means to colour the imagination or mood, or both. Every Raga has its own shade, its own distinct hue, a proper time of day to best evoke it, and a family or two to whom it can be said to ‘relate’. Some are a serious call to action and devotion, and some ask you to relax, turn off your mind, and listen to the colour.” – from the liner notes of &#34;Listen To The Colour&#34;
