Movie Reviews of Remember Shakti: The Way of Beauty
Movie Review: An absolute must for McLaughlin/Shakti fans
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been following McLaughlin since the mid 1970s, but I've never before gotten such an in-depth presentation about this underappreciated group.
Musically, you get both old Shakti and new Shakti; in my opinion, every iteration of this group has produced some of the most vital and inspiring music on the planet. The sound quality is surprisingly good, even on the 1970s material - it's almost as good as on the Columbia Shakti releases. The video quality's at best OK on the older material, but what can you expect?
The interviews section goes into great depth - and told me much I didn't know - about how Shakti originally came together, how it reformed, and how it came to so gracefully combine various aspects of Indian and Western music. I learned much about Indian music in the process. One of my favorite moments is a brief tabla solo by Hussain, which shows both his extraordinary skill and the incredible range of his seemingly simple percussion instrument.
I rented this off Netflix but I'm buying a copy.
