Terrify your conservative, xenophobic family by playing this during Thanksgiving dinner!!!!
Oh but seriously, this baby I have loves this stuff. Stares into the middle distance, bounces and swoons and then spits up all over me. Her form of homage.
When the term 'trance' gets thrown around it should first point to this.

Hailing from Calcutta, Tarun Bhattacharya learned various instruments including, sarangi, sarod, sitar, tabla and piano before settling on the classical Indian hammered dulcimer, known as the santoor. Initially, Tarun's father trained him and then later he became a disciple of Pandit Ravi Shankar. Similar to the Santoor master Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma, Tarun has proved to be a pioneer in his own right by enhancing the tonal range of the 100 string santoor and adding slides and glides which mirror the bending of notes on a sitar. On this recording, Tarun performs a popular evening raga, Raga Kalavati. It is an unusual santoor performance filled with great speed, intricate patterns and other innovations that was recorded at the Virtual Studios in Sanjaya, Gujarat, India. Tarun Bhattacharya represents the future of classical Indian music and this recording will certainly excite a discriminating palette.
