Recorded live in Bangalore in 1998, the first three pieces are from the classical South Indian repertoire of the Karnataka College of Percussion featuring R.A. Ramamani. The second two present Rothenberg's own mixture of spoken word, electronics, ghatam rhythms and clarinet explorations. The final four pieces represent the heat of the musical melange. The Karnataka College has had much experience performing world music fusions in Europe, with the German group Dissidenten and the American expat saxophonist, Charlie Mariano. They have previously recorded on the ECM and Intuition labels. Rothenberg has three previous CDs out, on the New Tone and Accurate labels. Jazziz named his 1995 release "On The Cliffs Of The Heart" one of the ten best CDs of the year.
