Kavi, Unconditional Love---------The music of Kavi revels in ultra-light vocals and backdrops that are chilled with a retro quality, featuring a dose of spirituality and some Asian flavor. “harmonic Vibration” is a prime example of this, blending mellow, somewhat wispy, synth-infused atmospheres with abstract lyrics about divine love an inner exploration. At other times, Kavi revels in sublime new age-style trancescapes, that strike a balance between being tender and meditative (“Love and Truth” shows this side of Kavi’s music perfectly). The whole album has a mild sort of groove that makes it enjoyable to listen to, with light guitars and keyboard tones that give it an Ibiza vibe. Includes vocals from Amoda, one of the people who influenced the album.

I can’t make up my mind about this one. I want to like it and I also want to call Kavi on his cliché passages. There are songs where the chorus just keeps repeating the words “unconditional love” and he sounds like Dave Gilmore (of Pink Floyd) on “E.” After awhile I couldn’t stop myself from imagining swaying lotus flowers with smiley faces and dilated eyeballs on them with an ebullient sun bouncing along the horizon like a basketball inflated with helium. Not that this type of imagination is a bad thing; it’s an enjoyable trip.

There is something cool about Kavi’s mood here: it’s a bit surreal and meditative. I know many yoga classes would dig the vibes and make it a regular on their playlists.

I recommend this album as it definitely grooves and it’s perfect for ecstatic trance dances and workshops.
