Description

It has been said that India is impossible to sum up in words. It has a unique aura and mystery, a unity in diversity of cultures, faiths and spiritual viewpoints. There is no way to include everything in one album, and as India has the largest population of Hindus in the world, we occasionally reference some Hindu traditions.

India has inspired our music for many years. We have been involved in Indian classical, folk and fusion music for over half our lives and it has woven itself into our musical lexicon. Rather than portray India in music on this album, we thought of dwelling on how the spirit of India has affected us, sending us on our own journey, which continues 23 years on from when The Rain Garden began. In tracing our own journey, we created the musical journey on this album which we hope you will enjoy as much as we enjoyed creating it.
