Journey East with Yes to the River!

After nearly three years I had the chance to listen to one of favorite music albums: Yes to the River, by Music from the World of Osho. I cannot explain the joy (or ecstasy, better) of listening to this music album in mere words.

For the joy was two-fold. First being the intrinsic soothing nature of the music and other being listening to it after a long time. It was a kind feeling…. feeling of meeting your old friend whom you love much but missed his presence for long for various reasons. In my case, I missed Yes to the River for three years because the cassette used worn out after repeated use (I cannot blame the cassette, it worked hard for me till its last breathe). And I didnt buy another copy of that cassette for I need to travel to a nearby City to buy it.

Of all the tracks, I like the Journey East, Festival of Lights, and Peacocks and Swans. No doubt all other tracks are equally soothing. I listened to Journey East, in repeat mode, until the serenity of the track entered into me. If you want to know the best of what Eastern music can do in fusion with western instruments, Yes to the River, by Music from the World of Osho, is a real bet. In general, Music from the World Osho are very poetic in expression and the track titles play as much as a role as the music. To understand this you must really listen to a few tracks by yourself.
