This is the 2nd time that I write a review of Am'ganesha'n and one more time this is really hard to do it. This band is absolutely unconventional, I cannot even give it any classification except maybe "tribal gothic" or something like that. You understand it really well, Am'ganesha'n doesn't play Metal but "Gothic" music in the spirit of a Dead Can Dance, something that some of you will love, and some others will hate?

This album is full of emotions that's beautiful and really touching I cannot deny it actually but on the other hand that's really, really elitist and intellectual in my opinion. I mean that ok Tibetans and Indians folk music are nice really, the tablas, santoors and percussions (don't expect any drums or guitars here) and the amazing vocals are splendid but is it really music for everybody, especially for the metalheads? I don't think so, at the opposite, that's really difficult of access and I think that only the die hard fans of the "tribal" trips of Dead Can Dance can find a real interest in this album.

That's beautiful on the other hand, when you'll listen this album that is really nice recorded, you'll (if you're ready to listen such music) fall into an amazing dream a great journey in oriental countries, but I must say it also some of you will dreams and for real if you see what I mean? And that's the real problem of the CD, it's too complex to be something that a lot of people will love and enjoy? I don't think that this is the main goal of the band however, then that's certainly not a problem for them.

That's beautiful, there is a gigantic work on this album and I'm sure that some people will like "Eleftheria". Also some of you, if you're curious, will maybe fall in love with the music of Am'ganesha'n (tip from Jeff: be sure to download the sample on the holy Records website before anything else) but I also know, that a lot of people will only sleep when they will listen it. I cannot help more? you really need to listen this music before that you buy the CD, you can like this music, like you can hate it?
