"...At once meditative--seemingly spontaneous in design--and carefully deliberated, and cutting across easily-identified cultural delinieations, the project plays like an introspective soujourn, of intimate and epic proportions."
"Chandra is brilliant. Each cut is a long drone - some airy, some murky - with various subliminal melodies plucked out of the overtones. Lots of bands have flirted with drones, eventually arriving at a recognizable song. For Chandra, the song is the drone..."
"...[Chandra captures] melodies that seem to float out of a drone. Karlheinz Stockhausen did something similar in his austere 'Stimmung,' but Ms. Chandra's drones are luxurious and enveloping....The music basks in consonance, finding utopia in its drones."
