I will be very honest here. I had never heard of Jim Ankan Deka. And when I was asked to review this album, I was in no mood either. It had been a very tiring day and I was just too desperate to hit the sack. But I decided to give it a try anyways.

A minute into the first song, Eastwards, I was already reading about this talented musician on Wikipedia. With distinct Indian tones and a jugalbandi between the Veena and the guitar, this instrumental song is not just soothing but vaguely reminiscent of the good old days of the desi rock beats...
