Asoka [Audio CD] Anu Malik

The music of Asoka has a rhythm and life of its own as it recreates a heady
mix of powerful sensuousness. THe high point of 'San Sanana' is the
interesting use of the mridang. Sensuality casts its spell in Raat ka nasha as
immensely engaging track. 'Roshni se' is a rich composition, which includes
some awesome Buddhist chanting and the intriguing vocal chemistry between
Abhijeet and Alka Yagnik. 'O re kanchi' captures the earthy feel of Oriya
music, in addition to some funky drumbeats and enthusiastic vocals. 'Asoka',
the theme piece is surreal and poetic, with appropriate use of the flute,
violins and sitar. 'Aa tayar joja' proves to be a fast-paced, upbeat track
that promises to grow on you after a couple of hearings.
