The album was recorded in full, on stage, with no second takes whatsoever. It is this creative, spontaneous environment that gives the music its power. The night of the concert the audience were simply blown away and everyone knew they had experienced something special. The music seemed completely wild and spontaneous, yet effortless and every note perfectly falling into place. The musicians seemed to be experiencing a moment of pure freedom and passion for what was being discovered. That complete concert became the live album titled 'Spirit At Play' to be released on Geomagnetic Records.
Nataraja's music is based on the Ragas and compositions of North India and these provide a springboard for group improvisation and forging new textures. Expect quick-fire interaction, powerful rhythms, lush soundscapes and beautiful Indian melodies played with passion. Imagine Jimi Hendrix crossed with Ravi Shankar and the Mahavishnu Orchestra, but with a fresh vision to do something new within the fusion landscape.
This is the line up of Nataraja ~
