MIDIval PunditZ - это дуэт из Индии Gaurav Raina и Tapan Raj. Выпустили два альбома в 2002 и 2005 году. Стиль - соединение национальной индийской музыки и электроники. Альбомы сделаны в одном ключе, но немного отличаются. Второй помягче и больше сосредоточен на индийской этнике, чем на ломаных ритмах.

ревью

A friend recommended me Midival Punditz 4 months ago. Finally I got my hands on a copy and the only thing I have to say is: fuck! I should have bought it right away- why didn't you tell me it was so good?!? The Delhi-based Indian duo, who have already worked with some pretty big-name musicians, deliver with their debut album an intense experience morphing electronic and Indian music in a way that brings out the best of both. This album is crowded with creativity, fusing Jungle and D'n'B beats, an array of Indian musical instruments, beautiful Indian vocals, classical Indian music moves, and a lot of emotions. Unforgettable moments include the mellow Santur & Piano meeting in Extasis (T2), the highly danceable Insite (T4) with trancey crazy tabla rhythms on distorted bass and a "Juno Reactor in India" general feel, the slow spacey psychedelic Far from Home (T5), the totally hypnotizing crazy mayhem of Bhangra Fever (T6), and the sad and emotional Night (T8) that moves strings inside you- one of my three favorites here. The two others ending this CD. God of Love (T11), a beautiful creation carrying a hypnotic happy mellowness, squeezing your heart juices, to be followed by Dark Age that closes this musical creation, and goes even deeper into your heart with a hypnotizing slow beat layered with powerful vocals and Indian instruments. An amazing track leaving you with a hanging jaw, wondering where are you and what have just happened. A good way to finish an album.
Recomendation: If you like good music I highly suggest you check this out. If you like electronic and ethnic music, then there's nothing to check- just buy it!

PreviewMIDIval PunditZ - Midival Times - 2005
Quote:
The mingling of ancient music with contemporary technology has meant the rise of new stylistic hybrids. Such is the case with Midival Punditz, a group co-lead by programmers Gaurav Raina and Tapan Raj. Together Raina and Raj bring a colorful, digital-age approach to Indian music by blending together traditional melodies and classical forms with loops and other computerized effects. One might think that such genre-blending would result in musical mayhem. However, on MIDIVAL TIMES, powerful guest performances by Ustad Sultan Khan (sarangi master) and Anoushka Shankar (sitar virtuoso and the daughter of Ravi Shankar) prove that musical integrity and innovation can sit side by side on the bandstand. Highlights include "Piya," a mystical raga, which features a delicate female vocal and foreboding computer textures. Another track, "Saathi" sees Khan's sarangi soliloquizing freely over funky electronic grooves. In contrast, Shankar's sitar playing on "Rebirth" is subtle, restrained, and hypnotic. Overall, MIDIVAL TIMES should appeal to both progressive world-music fans and purists.
