Ghastly Voice, Memorable Music | Tulku
For me, Tulku’s (a.k.a. Jim Wilson) music albums are strangely different. How strange, you may ask. It’s as strange as making you like a track sung by a ghastly voice. Uniquely found aspect of his music albums is that the singer’s voice is very ghastly, sung in bass voice (sometimes, I imagine the singer had some throat infection while singing!). But all these add only beauty to his music composition and doesn’t make it any less likely to listen.
When I first listened to his music tracks in Fast Forward, I instantly like it. If you have listened to Buddha Bar series, you probably listened to his track Radha Ramana. (Buddha Bar IV Disc 2) or the Spiral Dance track in Buddha Bar III Disc 1. Both these track make use of voice that is normally not likeable. Yet Tulku makes them likeable. I feel that’s creativity. And I love his music compositions for that matter. On the negative side, my sensitive ears find a similarity between his Spiral Dance and some tracks in Global Spirit album by Karunesh. Who composed it originally? Is Tulku making a variation of Karunesh composition or did both of them got the same inspiration in music that there is some tinge of similarity?
