5.0 out of 5 stars Mindblowing! 23 Jan 2000
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
Well, there's so much one can say about this masterpiece.... Peasants Pigs and Astronauts is Kula Shaker's "complete" album. It is certainly the best album I own and the best album that emerged in the 90's. We can only hope that the magic shall be picked up by the next generation of the music world so that we can enjoy real music once again.

Great Hosannah is such an incredible introduction to the album that from the first few seconds you know it's going to be a good one! You are, thus, totally absorbed from beginning to end, travelling through the north of India, experimenting with instruments and voice, capturing the essence of music and life.

The rhythm of Radhe Radhe is totally incredible, with the voice of Ghouri (who you may recall also featured in Govinda) and also the mystical quartet entwining the fantastic sounds!

I'm Still Here is just amazing - Crispian and his guitar producing a very reflective, meaningful and very beautiful song!

Timeworm, I believe, is the track which takes Peasants and Pigs to the top - it is an outstanding use of loops and atmosphere which engulfs your mind totally. Only Kula Shaker have been the band of the 90's who could ever had made it this far. This album and its tracks are so much above the rest of the "competition" surrounding it that it deserved so much more than it ever received. I was broken to find that the NME reviewed this LP and gave it 6/10. In my book, it was off the scale.

FANTASTIC, EXELLENT, BRILLIANT : MUSIC!

Namami Nanda Nandunan just takes you off at the end to a traquile place with a trickling stream and a sea of colour which emerges with the harmony and gentleness of the final track.

Peasants Pigs and Astronauts truly is a remarkable piece of musicianship. It should have a very high place in any music loves record collection! It certainly is at the top of mine!

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb 22 Nov 2000
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
Kula Shakers great debut was followed up by this superb album. A psychadelic combination of Eastern harmonies and influences, great guitar playing, ace vocals and some damn fine melodies. I like the way that many of the tracks merge into each other. The listener gets the feeling of drifting between dimensions on a magic carpet.

Kula Shakers style was very unique and it is a shame that they split up before we were treated to more of their excellent music.

4.0 out of 5 stars Shower your love
Kula Shaker is a big of an oddity -- a 1990s band (recently reformed) that sounds like a classic psychedelic/Indian funk band from the sixties or seventies. Read more

For me this isn't as instant or as uplifting as "K" and I suppose I may have had unrealistic expectations after "K", but it is still an excellent album. Read more

With the huge success of their pprevious album K, and the success of the Indian music influence, you get the feeling that with this album they might be cashing in on this. Read more
