In 2001, 32 years after their original release, Transparent Music requested and received permission to combine two of
Paul Horn's greatest CDs into one CD.
Inside the Taj Mahal I & II is, just as the title states, two masterpieces in one CD. It is one of the most dynamic two-fers ever. These albums have lost nothing over the years -- they still sound as radical and cutting-edge as ever. They are as gentle and serene as ever, too. While electronics, synths, processors, and dozens of other gadgets have made e-music and minimalism the great styles that they are, these albums remind listeners that simplicity is the teacher of complexity. This CD is in a league of its own -- still. That statement speaks for itself. ~ Jim Brenholts
