"India" (1983) has been described as the fourth album of the 'Silk Road' series, characterized by a fragile beauty of many flute and wind melodies with a much traditional feel.

'Caravansary' (track 2) impresses one as a poignant bittersweet song, sung with a flute-percussion duo in unison and an orchestra, bearing a nostalgic character of an old-time Japanese sad song. It had been rearranged numerous times in other albums such that this becomes an exceptional album preserving the original version (besides the 1998 "Healing Forest"), which I find has an irreplaceable touch.

'Mountain Streams' (3) is a profoundly slow-flowing air with a sublimely wistful angelic string.

'Pray' (4) has a freshly melodic air of flute and brass played along couple of dancing melodies.

'Linden' (7) is a delicate tune sung by a pair of waterdrop melodies and a sad flute air, bearing the title 'Tree of Awakening' in Buddhism.

'Ganga' (5) and 'Sunset' (6) contain some darker, haunting tones with the former bearing the name of the Hindu Goddess Ganga who had incarnated as the Ganges River in India, as the ancient myth said.

The opening and closing songs 'The Mist' (1) and 'Moonstar' (8) both whistle out a delicate flute air in contrast with a passage of drum and orchestra. 'Moonstar' was also remixed in the 1988 album "Ten Years" with a more intensified character.

A modern melancholy tribute to India, the motherland of Hinduism and Buddhism.
