Many music files are embedded in the pages of the Kutir, but there are
many more besides and in addition, I regularly change the music that
serenades the visitors to these pages. I have linked all the music
on the site to this page with the proper identification. Each file
is in both mp3 format and ogg format. I prefer ogg format because it
is opensource and free while mp3 is proprietary. Listen to
which ever you prefer, but do consider adopting the ogg format whenever
you can. Here is a connection to the
ogg-vorbis
home page.
Beautiful Vrndavana
This is Radhapada's lovely version of Ramya-vrndavana by Narottama dasa
from his CD
Lamplight of Love. Get your copy from Nitai's Bookstore.
Friend or Foe
An enchanting piece of guitar work by one of Australia's finest
guitarists, Brett Garsed.
Higher
This is a beautiful composition by Jason Becker. I am convinced
that Radha and Krishna and the gopis were present in the singers when it
was recorded. Listen to it and see what you think. Jason
Becker succumbed to Lou Gehrig's disease shortly after this song was
created. He lives, but he is unable to make music anymore.
Primal
Another Jason Becker piece was recorded as he was stuggling with and
gradually sinking into his disease. One senses that it records
what he must have been feeling at the time, the alternation of hope and
the despair, the same hope and despair we all must face as we see our
bodies gradually disintegrate before us.
Hedgehog's Song
This is by the Incredible String Band who were popular back in the 1960s
and early 1970s. They are the band that first brought Krsna into
my consciousness with the classic song
You Get Brighter Every Day
.
The Hedgehog Song was on an earlier album, their second, and
captures the challenge of Kirtana. Listen to it and see what you
think.
