“Vine is really very good at describing frustration and pain.”

— George Clayton Johnson, Author of Ocean’s Eleven and Logan’s Run

“The tabla, the sitar, the flute—we westerners have all heard this exotic style of music that hails from half-way around the globe, but rarely have we heard it with the level of intensity that poet-musician Vine Sweetland and friends bring to these instruments. To the untrained ear, “Raga Bhanga” might seem chaotic and even shrill at times. But you have to appreciate the passion these musicians bring to their playing. Some of us preferred “Caravan” with its stark, windy, atmospheric, desolate intro, that’s soon lightened by a gentle violin, before it all bursts forth in a loud, almost freeform spree. Others in our group prefer “Raga Omega” [Flight] for its hypnotic, dramatic musicianship and its solid structure.”
