Remixed Tracks of Mudra in Shiva Moon:

Shiva Moon I (The Crescent Mood Mudra)

Shiva Moon II (The Ocean Mudra)

Dabari N.Y.C (The Merging Mudra)

Saffron Dreams (The Night Mudra)

Sandhya Sanjana, female singer, is known well for her sultry voice that mixes naturally with jazz and loungy music and has voiced for the remix of Darbari. Maneesh De Moor’s lounge remix of these Mudra tracks add a new dimension to the composition of Prem Joshua. Shiva Moon I & II as appeared in Mudra take a new form here yet preserve the mood and solacing nature of Prem Joshua’s Original composition. Saffron Dreams is yet another track in which Sandhya Sanjana’s sultry voice captures attention. I personally felt little disappointed to see my favorite (you could say very very…) track Road to Solaia not being remixed in Shiva Moon. I’d love to listen how Maneesh would remix this one, as I have a feeling that Road to Solaia can be made no better.

If you have listened to Mudra, Shiva Moon would compliment it and vice versa.

Bolo Hari: Instant Pudding Remix by Dharma Dogz. Wow! the name sounds good isn’t it? Yes. But the track doesn’t, as the track has little to adore. Except for the name “Instant Pudding” the remix has nothing to attract my attention . Dogz pitiably calms down the passion of Bolo Hari (original) and nosily mixes up vocal, flute and percussion towards the middle of the track.

Bolo Hari: Bombay Lounge Remix by Maneesh de Moor is featured in Shiva Moon. Maneesh worked with Joshua in the original release of Bolo Hari and maybe because of that he has very little NEW to contribute in this remix. However, I liked his increased tempo of sitar throughout the track.

Mido, ranking always gets tougher when you reach the top; so is the case here. Niraj Chaj’s Bolo Hari Blue God Comes to Town is the best remix (with no comparison to the previous two, for I don’t really rank them) But how best is this when compared to Joshua’s? Niraj’s remix wins! And I say this for two reasons: First Niraj replaces the dominance of Sitar with flute which is thematically a more suitable instrument (Hey, Hari plays flute not sitar!) and Second, he replaces the electronica-style rhythm with a native-feel percussion. The combination of these two gives Niraj Chaj’s remix the uniqueness.

Joshua’s original performance of Bolo Hari is good. Especially the way he brings out music from the strings of Sitar is unparalleled. We have seen this in Mudra and in Ahir (his other albums). But his obsession with Sitar could have been kept little away in Bolo Hari giving place for flute. If he had, I’m sure Niraj’s remix should go down in rank.
