Here's a version of the famous Nadia by Nitin Sawhney - a song that I love to pieces! This recording was the result of a late night jam at Krimson Avenue Studios to try out a new microphone and it was recorded in one go with minimal work on it post recording. Happy listening! Lovely work as always by Prithvi Chandrasekhar on this track. Thanks PC!

Here is a shorter version of a recent upload on Youtube from The Krimson Blend - In collaboration with Prithvi Chandrasekhar and Allwyn Jeyapaul. Beautiful percussion from Allwyn and amazing production, arrangement, mix and master (phew!) from Prithvi of Krimson Avenue Studios! 

This was originally composed by Shri Madan Mohan and the lyrics were penned by Raja Mehdi Ali Khan for the movie Anpadh (1961). Lata ji's rendition brings tears to my eyes every single time and this is an attempt at creating that kind of magic. 

Here is the link to the longer version on Youtube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Emf4_cS_QG0 and there's more where this came from. Happy listening! :)
