This is produced by Maneesh de Moor, who is an associate of Prem Joshua and Manish Vyas. They are a group of musicians who came out of the Osho connection. They have an unmistakable sound. It is definitely not Indian, and neither is it Western - it is a blend of the two, and these musicians have a very strong affiliation with Hinduism.
Sudha's voice is very beautiful, and the music is tastefully done, as is all the music from this group of musicians. The thing which distinguishes them from Indian musicians is the lack of micro-tones. Micro-tonal singing and playing has to be absorbed over a long period of time - it is very difficult to do without this long absorption. Basically only the Indians can do it, aside from a couple of western sitarists, but rarely singers.
Of this whole gang of musicians Julie and I both like Manish Vyas best, as he uses the most interesting melodies and instruments - the others tend to sound great on the first track you hear, but after that you realise they are too similar and musically simplistic.
This piece does have a very dreamy feel. I also like the images of all the gurus.
