This album is too diverse to fully capture with a few sound clips. Expect more roots and downtempo/triphop beats, whereas the 2003 release "Great Mystery" incorporates some faster drum and bass/jungle type beats over rhyme,chant, vocal styles. Much live band and acoustic stuff too, plus many surprises.
Arjun and Guardians have been on tour almost non stop since since 2000. Playing coast to coast USA and beyond: ie: Hawaii,Canada... Thousands of CD's have been sold, and there are likely many tens of thousands distributed underground.
His voice has been likened by reviewers to Ben Harper (Metro Santa Cruz), and Bob Marley (Chicago Journal, others). Jivamukti Yoga (The western world's most renown yoga center/resource) has also placed Arjun among the top 5 bhajan/kirtan singers in the western world in their newest book "Jivamukti Yoga".
Arjun and Guardians have recently shared stages with such acts as...
Israel Vibrations, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Sound Tribe Sector 9, Midnite, Burning Spear, Melvin Seals and the Jerry Garcia Band, Derek Trucks Band,The Abyssinians, Scientist, Prezident Brown, Karl Denson, Pato Banton, The Congos, Clinton Fearon (of the Gladiators), Soul Asylum, Jefferson Starship, Lost at Last, Hamsa Lila, Krishna Das, Bhagwan Das, Scott Huckabay, Joules Graves, Shimshai, Sasha , and John Brown's Body.
