Sweet and heartrending.
A journey where you remain still, a melody that carries us closer to where we started, a destination as simple as it is longed for. Ourselves.
My Sleeping Karma gives us this and allows us to glimpse something that for an album is as simple as it is enlightening, so familiar that it leaves one puzzled.
12 tracks along which to lose and find oneself, in which the German quartet takes us by the hand on a magical walk that begins with the long and idyllic "Ahimsa" and winds through various tracks and 5 "Interlude" that connect all the pearls of the necklace that is this "Satya" and underline how it is in fact a single thought translated into music, a reflection without pauses but overflowing with moving melodies.
The title track is a floating of liquid and ethereal notes within which to drift allowing oneself to be led into nothingness, while even more dense with emotion are the atmospheres of "A Staya", where drops of music spread over an electric and arpeggiated background.
"Svaatanya" is born, if possible, in an even more delicate manner, wrapping us in a soft musical garment thanks also to the melancholic and feminine beauty of the voice (for the first and only time on the album).
"Brachmachary" is perhaps the firmest episode on the album, which nonetheless does not forget the poetry characterizing every sound of the band from Aschaffenburg, while the next "Apangraha" thanks to a mystical guitar arpeggio gently cradles us on a keyboard carpet for all the 6 minutes it comprises.
The end approaches, and the idea takes shape that perhaps we have never really left, as distracted by a heavy rain ("Interlude V") we are captured by the concluding "Sandi", stunning and touching with its slow but at times almost unsettling progression that gives us a glimpse of the final destination of the journey undertaken.
But perhaps it is nothing more than the blurred ecstasy of "Satya", more than an album a perfect and natural pantheism between music and psyche.
