    They focus more on freeform jams than commercial song structure. Then, as now, it makes for indulgent and difficult listening. But, if the path of wisdom lies in such excesses, then the Larsons are certainly well on their way. [#81, p. 59]

    This latest offering from former Hare Krishna disciples Taraka and Nimai Larson finds the Brooklyn-based sisters in typically mind-altering mood. [Nov. 2011, p. 139]

    This music is wonderful. Each song has something different. I can't say enough how much I enjoy the vocals, just beautiful. Just as good orThis music is wonderful. Each song has something different. I can't say enough how much I enjoy the vocals, just beautiful. Just as good or even slightly better than their previous effort, Shadow Temple. I hope this band finds the way to continue to do more amazing things with their music. Full Review »
