This is the second song from the Morning Raga I am going to write about. I am totally in love with the music, even some 4 yrs after I heard the music for the first time. And pretty sure, this music is always going to live close to me.

This song, largely a keyboard solo. Its an instrumental piece, solidly backed by a faithful rhythm section that is very groovy, and continuous. Guitar does a little, but very effective, in providing counters and some interesting rhythm patterns. Otherwise, largely the bass and drums holds the song together.
Morning Raga
The structure of the song is very simple, so probably doesn’t have the intricacies of few other songs from this album which is colored with Jazz palette. Its a standard verse-chorus-solo-verse structure, but for the nice keyboard solo, the tune rocks!
Released in 2005, this album remains one of the finest of the decade in terms of experimentation, musicianship, and unorthodox treatment.

I believe they do guitars and keyboards, respectively. Yet to find out the other instrumentalists on the band, as soon as I find, I will update here (if you, the reader, know, please write in the comments section below).
