What about repeating the same old nonsense that you have been doing. Things that you, your friends, your forefathers have been doing. Going on in a materialistic existence trying to find happiness. Chewing the chewed.

If you've heard about Nina Hagen and are hoping to experience that famed anarchic sound then I suggest you run a zillion miles from this album. This album has nothing to do with Nina of the famed Eastern German angst and everthing to do with Nina the devout Eastern religionist. Now each to his own, I guess, but anyone who like me thought that the poked out tongue on the cover meant that the this was going to be a hindi version of 'radio yerevan' rock is going to be as wildy disappointed as I was. There's no point in trying to assess each track becasue essentially, no, virtually literally, they are all the same - two cds of devout religious chanting is what you are about to buy. You have been warned. My advice is to buy ANY other Nina album and you will get a better deal. This is not music you will enjoy unless you are into idiotic audio repetition and serial boredom. One star is one too many.

In the genre of western chanting of Indian sanskrit mantra this is a production that stands out, not only with it's contact with ancient traditions, but also with it's joy, devotion and overflow of energy and vitality. Nina Hagen gives voice to both classical Indian chants, but also contributes with some beat up original westernised versions of old traditional mantras which is just great ! Nina Hagen have good help of other mantra singers and the whole band has a powerful impact. For mantra lovers this recording is a treat. The extra live recording on the second CD is just as juicy, inspiring and raw as the studio recording, both brilliant and excellent. The gods does not always come in sandals and white gowns, sometimes they dress up as punk divas, but here Nina Hagen is maybe showing us who she really is - a goddess in disguise?
