Tara is the second album in the Tantric Celebration set. Musically it's rooted in Indra's most common style of melodic EM a la Berlin School. The tracks on this album take a long form approach with each nearly double the length of the previous one. Indra's album is less in the mould of classical Berlin School than the work of many other artists treading this ground. The shortest piece at over eleven minutes long is “Nectar” which begins with Schulzian synth refrains gently fuzzing over the soundscape while spacey tinkles add to the atmosphere. All this builds gradually to an easygoing plinky sequencing section which then speeds up near the end before fading out. At over twenty one minutes long the second track is aptly named “The Long Journey”. It launches straight into a burbling sequence as synth pads drift around melodically like graceful beings in the sky. The pace and demeanour of the sequencing varies and disappears for a short interlude before returning for a more upbeat passage where more is going on. Completing the album is “Anthology”. Sonically there's more going on here and the mood becomes more upbeat when the sequencing is displaced by rhythmic beats. This piece is broken into several passages, finishing with wistful refrains and drum programming. If you're familiar with Indra's other albums then there's no surprises in store when you listen to Tara, but it's pleasant enough and more melodic than some of the other sequencing based albums you might encounter. |
