the time | This
- the 4th studio album from the rain garden , now in 4piece mode (and occasionally
5 piece) Percussionist Sudha Kheterpal (now with pop band Faithless) adding a
more solid percussive base to the groups sound and freeing the others to roam
on a wider range of instruments.
The musicians gathered in an attik studio
and over the course of several days produced some extrordinary music.

Retrospect | There
was a real creative freshness on this album. New ideas were flowing back and forth
and the improvisations were especially stunning. The album feels at times like
a sacred ritual.
