2010 reissue. Karnataka's much anticipated 2003 third album begins an ambitious new chapter that makes for a compelling listening experience. Sensual, spiritual and unrestrained by musical boundaries, the dramatic, multi-layered arrangements combine with haunting vocal melodies to create a powerful and epic work where panoramic soundscapes give way to fragile moments of acoustic intimacy, from the evolving intensity of 'Heart of Stone' to the desolate imagery of 'Out of Reach'. Produced by the highly regarded Steve Evans (who also worked on Catatonia's International Velvet and Leftfield's Leftism) the melodic songs and dynamic arrangements are given a highly polished sheen.
