“Liquid Reality” - Anupam Shobhakar

There are albums that blend genres, and then there are albums that tear the boundaries down completely, toss the pieces into the wind, and build something totally new. Liquid Reality, the latest offering from virtuoso guitarist and sarodist Anupam Shobhakar, definitely belongs in the second camp. This is not a fusion record for people who just want to sprinkle sitar over jazz chords—this is deep-rooted, high-level, no-holds-barred sonic architecture.
