Govinda, the project of classically trained musician Shane O'Madden, emerges with another album of hypnotic rhythmic pleasures for electronica fans to savor. Govinda's seductive sound, something of a mix between techno and gypsy music with a distinct Middle Eastern (and slightly Indian) flare, is both funky and original. The moody universe of Govinda is at the height of its exotic sensuality on tracks like "City of Pleasures," "Le Zephyr" and "Mind Mysterium." These tracks, with their creaky violins and haunting vocal textures, give the listener a chance to experience both world music and techno being pushed in exciting new directions.
