Kharma Beats
[bar de lune]   review from dimm  


Yeah that's right: it's the same dudes who brought you the Buddha and Krishna Beats. This time around, Ganesh lets you know that he listens to Kruder & Dorfmeister.

The Bar De Lune camp sets this compilation forward, and I must admit that it far exceeds Krishna Beats in quality. I actually like this limited edition double-cd set. It is what Krishna Beats could've been. Overall, it conveys more of an asian theme without being too eclectic.

But the overall idea of culling together non-asian artists to form the meat of a 'post-modern-hippie' compilation remains. It does, however, get more and more 'loungy' as the years progress, which I am ALL in favour of.
