This

let's

put that

Only

those

who

spent

feeling

Perhaps

this

why

this

uses

the

word

"Cosmic"

often

describe

their

Roshan

met

"ful1

where

they

gathered

under

and

"just

Thus

they

embarked

that

settling

Let's

tracks

"Down

it's

"Tire

—

This

dreamy

instrumental

opens

the

with

rhodes

piano

and

what

Roshan

calls

"singing"

guitar:

volume-pedal

guitar

yielding

string-like

sounds.

After

these

brief

(1:15)

noodlings,

the

second

track

breaks

the

trance-like

spell

with...

"Old

Friends"

—-

All

but

two

tracks

this

are

vocal

tunes,

and

they

feature

Shivani's

clear,

sweet,

perfectly-

pitched

vocals

weaving

strong

melodies

around

pop,

latin,

and

slightly

jazz-inﬂuenced

progres-

sions.

The

latin

percussion

and

rhodes

piano

this

tune

are

reminiscent

early

Stevie

Wonder.

"Anything

You

Want"

—-

This

straight-ahead

pop

song

has

some

R&B

and

lvlotown

inﬂuence,

brought

out

the

nice

horn

and

Roshan's

Shivani's

beautiful,

clear

voice

carries

this

tune.

The

and

heavy-handed

for

what

"Tire

Blues

with

slightly

The

idea,

progression,

even

the

lyrics

are

good...

but

something

fails

"work"

here...

The

instrumentation

bit

odd:

clavinet

keyboard

and

fretless

bass

just

don't

fit

here;

I'd

rather

hear

growlin'

piano

for

the

keyboard

duties,

and

Fender

electric

bass.

least

bring

the

bass

down

the

mix

for

better

balance.

Halfway

through

the

song,

the

meter

changes

3i-4

and

slows

considerably;

this

also

works

well,

after

the

ﬁrst

shock

of,

"Oh,

we're

going

break

the

song

with

obvious

change

here."

S11ivani's

vocals

really

turn

during

this

last

half

the

tune.

"Mankind"

—

Combination

"island"

and

"bubble

this

probably

the

weakest

track

the

because

its

cliched

lyrics

("Maul-rind,

kind

Mankind,

and

shamelessly

"feel

progression.

This

project,

because

sounds

very

much

cial

and

doesn't

fit

classier

"Down

Shivani's

Don't

Every-

Roshan

commits

the
