In his sixth release, Shastro once more displays his ability to convey the qualities of magic and sensuality with his music. Silky grooves, magic melodies, tasteful arrangements and exotic eastern flavors make Tantric Heart a perfect companion for special intimate moments. Also excellent for massage and relaxation.

"Gentle, soothing melodies float like iridescent butterflies above liquid beats. Melodic elements weave in and out of the percussion, while the bansuri flute shimmers like fresh dew in dawn's embrace. Long, ambient tones soothe and refresh while the tablas sing their own refrain. Tantric Heart definitely appeals to the lover....eminently suitable for massage, meditation, and love-making."

Tantric Heart

Sensual, Rhythmic Guitar Melodies

This dreamy magical recording was inspired by Shastro's visits to the ancient tantric temples of Northern India.  While all of Shastro's recordings portray hints of romance, Tantric Heart is particularly sensual.  Soft, rhythmic guitar melodies form the core of Embrace, the first cut on this two-track recording.  Embrace evokes the warm, gentle breezes and soft rains of Shastro's Hawaiian homeland, but at the same time reaches beyond the Pacific into the Mediterranean, India and more.  It is difficult to resist melting and merging with the soothing, flowing grooves of this 20-minute piece. The second cut, The Diamond and the Lotus, is more reminiscent of India's Kujaraho Temples.  Classical Indian instruments such as santoor, dilruba, sarod, and tabla lend a deep, ancient tone to Shastro's composition, which includes traditional Indian musical forms and the soft chanting of the Sanskrit mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum."  Together, Tantric Heart's two long cuts carry you away on an ocean of serenity. - NAPRA ReView
