RA DHI

After the unusual Morning Depth with all these acoustic and classic guitars, Senmuth is back to his normal fusion of ethnic music and insustrial metal. He doesn't sing too much, so the usual noise caused by his distortion kit is not present, but the sound ant the rhythms are closer to his first works. There are long ethnic parts, mainly indian, on this album, but the metal element is back after a number of albums on the newage side of this one man band.

The problem with this album is that it appears like an involution. "Ah Na", "Eternafrost" and Cybershamanizm" are more or less the same track, and of a kind that's easy to find on his early albums.

There are some good moments, specially the two "Travel Dub" and "Samarthye". This last sounds like "Rammstein". "Rain From My Land" is a very nice acoustic/classical guitar based instrumental (an Ovation?). It's only that it's like if Senmuth hadn't decided which kind of album it should have been.

It's a 2.5 star album. I round it to three because it's downloadable for free, so spending less than 1 hour in listening to it is not a bad idea.
