Album Description
In this new release, Seb Taylor artfully combines elements from studio sessions he collected in his travels with fresh ethnic beats and a vision for the next level of global fusion. 'Elixir' maintains the uncomprimising production quality listeners have come to expect from Kaya Project while delivering another dynamic series of tracks richly steeped in the eastern traditions of world music. Built on a solid framework of intricate and funky tribal percussion, each cut on the album seamlessly blends diverse musical instrumentation with warm basslines and modern arrangement in creating a deeply captivating listening experience. Interchill. 2005.

I have been searching for this music all my life. I found it here. This is some of the most beautiful, rhythmic and invigorating music I have ever heard. My title says it all.

This review is from: Elixir (Audio CD)
This is not electronic dribble. The compositions are layered, thought thru, and complex, and oh so listenable. I really dont like alot of electronica/dance because it is often such cliche disco synth, but not Kaya Project. This sets the bench-mark for others. Its wayyyy good, interesting, and worth many repeat listens.

This review is from: Kaya Project-Elixir (Audio CD)
Kaya Project's Elixir album has heavy Middle Eastern and Eastern influences. It's extremely sexy and provocative. It's the kind of tribal yet contemporary pulse of music that puts you in another place, another country, another period of time. This sophomore release is perfect for driving, dancing, massaging, napping, making love, or working at your desk.Musicians will especially appreciate Elixir because, as expected, there are some worldly instruments played on the album. Things like the blues harp, ney, zourna, darbouka, guitars, tzoura, tabla, bansuri, violins, shakuhachi, keyboards, and kamiachi. The shakuhachi is a traditional Japanese flute. The ney is a Persian end-blown flute. The zourna appears to be an Egyptian clarinet from what I can tell. Hard to find info on it. Masters of it must be rare. The darbouka is an Arabic goblet drum (AKA chalice drum). The tzoura is a Turkish stringed instrument. The tabla is a percussion instrument from northern India--a right-hand drum, also called a dahina or dayan, that is a conical, almost cylindrical drum shell carved out of a solid piece of hard wood. The shell has one open end covered by a composite membrane. The bansuri is an alto flute from India. Kamiachi... Can't find what it is, but apparently Dapu-G is the best at it. This has become my favorite world electronica album. It still gives me goosebumps.
Listmania!
