4 stars Awesome worldly music, should be under Indo/raga rock or jazz rock, not psychedelic.

The tracks only have congas(?) and other ethnic percussion for drums. Awesome, well used stuff that fits the music perfectly. The guitar is beautiful and strong, the singer has an amazing voice, the songs mix shorter and lengthier, what's not to love?

What's not to love with this album is the drop in quality from the stellar 5/5 first side to the mediocre second side.

Opening with the tasteful Traveller, you get the soft side of Jade Warrior then Prenormal day at Brighton gives an amazing introduction to Jade Warriors harder aspects. These two tracks then give way to Masai Morning which is fantastic an African (?) infused mini suite. Then Windweaver, so good, so good and it goes right into the also amazing Dragonfly Day.

The second side is just uninspired versions of the first side. Bad melodies, short songs, etc. This album is superb on the first side, but gives way to a mediocre second side, causing the final score to be 4/5.

Beautiful Scarlet | 4/5 |
