The six-part title piece alone is more than 30 minutes of fascinating modern music that goes in myriad unusual directions. There is a Polish folk tune (with violin and voice), another that features bizarre, a Highland ballad, backwards electronic manipulations a la The Beatles and Jimi Hendrix, and, yes, one with tabla featured prominently.
