A CD that rewards careful and reflective listening. Nalini, a classically trained pianist from India now living in Essex, has here assembled 10 self-penned tracks in 59 minutes with titles such as "Lonely", "Thirsty", "Humblified". They are all gentle and easy to listen to and there must be a story behind the writing of each one. Unfortunately there are no sleevenotes to help the listener understand the context. However despite that, this is a rewarding album to listen to and ideal for quiet times and "soaking prayer" sessions. A major figure, in terms of the musical background, in the prayer soaking world is Toronto's Ruth Fazal and I would be interested to hear of any collaboration between her and Nalini.
