Alternative bagpiping - more peshwari than piobaireachd. Canadian uber-art piper Grey turns to the inflections of the East in his Indian-inspired album.

Featuring vocals of Farid Khan, Jane Siberry, Andy Kwiecien and Leslea Keurvorst, with bagpipes and reelpipes by Grey, this is an album of exploration combining Scottish traditions with Indian ones, to great effect.

The sleeve notes provide plenty of information.
