| sajitjacob (Christchurch NZ) | Posted: Feb 19, 2013 - 17:16 Pseudo spiritual westerners can be found everywhere from Oamaru to Oahu, London to Lisbon. They are instantly recognizable in their baggy cotton pajama trousers, ability to juggle and total failure to grasp the true meaning of their own existence. fredriley wrote: Cool stuff.

| Hoosfoos | Posted: Nov 17, 2012 - 16:13 This song is godawful. Really really cheesy. |

| toomanyollys | Posted: Oct 17, 2012 - 07:38 Wow. This is really, really cheesy. And rubbish. |

| fecjak | Posted: Jun 13, 2012 - 06:22 how does, "yawn", john lennon's song get an 8 plus rating here, while a GODLIKE song, by Lost at Last- Ocean of Mercy and the same for the song before IT, end up with a 5.8 and a 6.0? lemmings, anyone? it seems that every highly rated song here is by some utterly bore me to death mainstream 80's group, while the artist above and the one following her did mind-blowing songs, and are rated so low? americans r about the most predictable group in the world, and SO boring. its so bizarre to me. |

Jai Sri Krsna! sounds like you might need to meditate more, or just get out of your head about it.... |

I agree, just listen to the song and if your heart is open one crack you can hear the devotional and ecstatic quality. Why not celebrate life? Instead of doing the superior artist critical thing. Bo-ring! For me, Radio Paradise is a life-affirming station - playing highly charged music. Rock on. |

| chirpie (olathe, kansas) | Posted: Dec 14, 2008 - 13:47 They should call this genre "echo wailing" The album art is really... eh. But I still like this a little better than Hevia. EDIT ADD ON: Hmmm... it's still going... and the falling in and out time with the beat just doesn't really work. 6 > 4 |

| Misterfixit (Nashville) | Posted: Sep 14, 2007 - 16:40 Gee folks, I don't know ... she sounds like a weak imitation of Loreena of the Blue Mystery Tent. I wonder what people whose culture is first generation from the places in India where this type of music is common would say about this? |

If they left out the dance beat, this WOULD be likeable music! Good comment. However, there are probably a lot of RP-listeners who don't know that much about Indian music, like myself. I hear this and think: "Cool, that's some great Indian music. Must check out some more of that." I may not like the real thing at all, but this song at least provokes an interest. On the other hand, I hadn't really noticed the bland dance-beat until you mentioned it. I've heard some great songs be ruined with a stupid commercial brain-dead dance-beat, so yeah, I think I know how you feel. |

| djcoolhandluke | Posted: Apr 10, 2007 - 11:58 Blech. Their music has gotten more and more formulaic as time goes by. I find this boring - not very good as Indian music, lifeless as dance music. It's too bad, I played a show with these guys about ten years ago and they had a lot of promise. |

| chasech5 (East Lansing, MI) | Posted: Apr 10, 2007 - 11:50 I didn't like this at first, but it grew on me. There is a place for world fusion and for devotional music with the language of Hindu and tantric religious practice. Glad to hear it again. |

You are both right. Check this out - Editorial Reviews
From Amazon.com
Amazon.com A pop-flavored, feel-good pastiche of ethnic techno, this eponymous debut from Maui-based Lost at Last could make them the rave generation's ABBA. This release, which seems to reinforce its danceable notion of global harmony, centers on the capable vocal talents of Jaya Lakshmi (who is more convincing with ethnic dialects than with English), supplemented by a four-man rhythm section; a programmer; and a skilled string player, Deva Priyo. Thumping, beeping paeans to world unity, adorned with Indian, flamenco, and Middle Eastern flourishes and even a stray banjo ("Peyote"), make this diasporic offering likable without being remarkable. The group's sound is likely better appreciated at one of its part-ritual/part-carnival live shows, where costumes, glowing body art, and sideshow characters up the entertainment ante. --Terry Wood So I guess the point is - if you liked ABBA when they were big or like rave music now (music with a heavy beat designed to mindlessly dance to for hours) then you'll like this techno-trance version of Indian music. I don't like it nor do I consider it true Indian music. I do love Indian music AND the local curry shop, however. If they left out the dance beat, this WOULD be likeable music! |

Is it just me or does "steady enunciation" sound like one of those things you come up with when trying to find something nice to say about a song that you really hate? |

Her accent on the Sanskrit parts is dreadful, and the rest of the music is practically a parody. Just my opinion. |
