debu chaudhuri's kaunshi kanhara/kannada at last!

I had put out a CD-hunt for this celestial piece of music - and drawn a blank all around, even with the musician himself. With the wrapping up of World Space Radio, this absolutely amazing piece of music vanished into the ether."(see my post http://gouridange.blogspot.com/2010/01/from-ether-back-into-ether.html) Then suddenly, out of literally nowhere, comes an old CD to me from a music buff. I cannot describe the feeling...as if one has gone through the process of grieving for a departed person, and then the person just manifests again, on your doorstep!
I am listening to it all - alap, jod, jhala and gat as I write this. Anyone wanting to listen to this is invited over for a 51 minute transportation into literally another universe. I have written about this piece of music - it has the quality of making you feel like it comes from some eternal place and speaks of things you cannot fathom in your normal course of things. actually words are inadequate cliches. you have to hear it. it raises questions, it replies. it leaves some unanswered.
