Album Review: Jai Uttal’s Dial M for Mantra

Because of the “remixing” this album left me feeling distanced from the essence of devotion which lives within the mantras. Dial M offers listeners a loungy sound, I imagine this as something I might play for a mocktail party at my home. It would also work well as background music at a spa. Very subtle. The track which I found most enjoyable is Maha Dev which is a nice tribute to Lord Shiva. I look forward to more from Jai and I hope that next time his “remixing” is more uptempo than down. What can I say, I love to chant and DANCE.
