"While My Guitar Gently Bleeds" is amazing. Take one part acoustic raga and one part psychedelic/guitar noodling and you've got an idea of what to expect. The track Mahavidya is a nice raga along the lines of Fahey or Basho. Beautiful tandems of plucking strings and droning fills your ear canals like a lazy day under the olives. Zurvan is the bridge here on the disc, depite its track number being 1. Zurvan is an acoustic-twinging of the nerves with lucidity that directly leads into the amazing Smashana. Where Zurvan held certain restraints and portrays the album as a complex, yet easy to follow album, Smashana takes the listener for a ride, delving into swirling guitars, and dreamlike progressions.

Love this guy. His Salvador Kali is probably a top 50 of all time for me. Between these solo records and his output with Sun CIty Girls the guy has to be (in my opinion, albeit most often misinformed)) one of the most creative artists currently making music.

Saw him open for Animal Collective back in May. It was good, but I've seen stuff like it before. He's a really good guitarist, for sure.
