An album released in 1978 by Canadian progressive folk-rock group Ananta. Similar to Rasa's "Everything You See is Me," which was featured in the guidebook "Obscure Sound: 640 Selections from Utopia," this music was created by followers of the Hare Krishna movement, a Hindu new religious movement. It's a new-age progressive rock album with a unique atmosphere, featuring beautiful vocal harmonies and new-age ethnic folk sounds on B3, along with a cross-over sound that subtly blends folk songs with elements of world music, fusion, and electronics, all complemented by adult-oriented vocals and choruses. While various musical genres are present, the overall album maintains a unified concept, making it a very well-conceived and enjoyable work.
