Agam has some new Youtube clips up, apparently as a teaser for an upcoming album. This is my favourite of the new songs; dazzling at times. I nominated it in the EOY poll. The new songs seem to have a choir on them, which I'm on the fence about at times.

The Inner Self Awakens is available on iTunes. I don't think the new one has been released in full yet.

I grabbed it and am listening to it now. This is really good. My only regret is that AGAM backwards is MAGA

Prasad was really good but playing Carnatic music on a clean electric guitar with tambura and mrdangam is imo a different thing from what this thread was meant for. The standard Carnatic repertoire can really be played on any instrument capable of sustaining, bending, and sliding between pitches, as it is mostly based on vocal songs and is never scored for specific instruments: there are lots of good musicians who play the melodies on sax, electric guitar, electric mandolin, synth, etc. along with the traditional drone and percussion accompaniment instruments. This thread is for full rock bands from India who play progressive rock or fusion with Carnatic influences.

Having said that, thanks for this! There's a full concert from 1988 here: https://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/post/652254548215414784/sukumar-prasad-unknown-venue-houston-texas

Back on topic, I'm surprised I never mentioned Motherjane from Kerala. Maktub was a good album.
