Album Notes & Community Reviews
Expanding the boundaries of American Primitivism to incorporate classical Indian raga and deeply spiritual themes, Robbie Basho's acoustic guitar work is utterly transcendental. 'Venus in Cancer' is wonderfully atmospheric and profoundly calm, weaving fiercely passionate, highly progressive folk playing into remarkably pastoral, subtly melancholic meditations.
