Review by Kirill Komandante

Suryaghati EP 2: A Genre-Bending Cosmic Journey That Sticks With You Alright, let’s talk about Suryaghati EP 2 by ZAMAN 8 & Hafez Modir. This little gem from 2005 is one of those albums that sneaks up on you—like, you’re just vibing along and suddenly it hits you in the feels. Released under Six Degrees Records (yeah, they know how to pick 'em), this thing blends electronic beats with jazz, folk, world sounds, and even a splash of country. It shouldn’t work, right? But somehow, it does. The vibe here is fusion—not just genre-wise but emotionally too. It feels like staring at the stars while someone whispers ancient secrets into your ear. Two tracks really stuck with me: “Brhaspati” and “Mangala.” Let me tell ya why. “Brhaspati” starts off all slow and mysterious, kinda like walking through fog without knowing where you're going. The percussion builds gently, almost hesitant, as if it's testing the waters. Then BAM!—the saxophone comes in, raw and soulful, cutting through everything else like sunlight breaking through clouds. I swear, every time I hear it, I get goosebumps. It’s not perfect—it has these jagged edges—but maybe that’s what makes it so damn real. Like life itself, y’know? Then there’s “Mangala,” which flips the script entirely. This one’s playful, almost cheeky. The rhythm bounces around like a kid who had way too much sugar, but instead of being annoying, it’s infectious. There are moments when the melody dips into something deeper, almost melancholic, before snapping back to its upbeat groove. It’s like watching someone dance who doesn’t care who’s looking—they’re just lost in the moment. Every time I listen to it, I catch myself nodding my head or tapping my foot uncontrollably. It’s impossible not to move. What gets me about this album is how it refuses to stay boxed in. It’s not JUST jazz or electronic or whatever label people try to slap on it. It’s messy, layered, alive. And honestly, isn’t that what music should be? Not some polished product but an experience—a conversation between cultures, instruments, emotions. Here’s the kicker though: listening to Suryaghati EP 2 feels like finding an old mixtape in your attic. You don’t know who made it or why, but it speaks to you anyway. Maybe because it reminds you that art doesn’t need to explain itself—it just needs to exist. So yeah, give this one a spin. Who knows? It might just become your new favorite accidental discovery.
