Round the Blend

That's where the challenge lies. In the blend. Fusion is an oft-misinterpreted word. When you bring two diverse styles together, you don't just toss them in a dish and mix 'em like a salad ... you introduce, you create a relationship, find out their commonalities. its almost like creating a relationship. Its a feeling of godliness.

To prove once again that music transcends all elements of borders or distances or time, I took a song by a modern-day band called Fort Minor (2006) and an age-old classic Salil Chaudhry number (1970), and created this very blend. Its not seamless, but hearing it makes me only wonder one thing ... maybe music was that one universal language that was intended to unite one and all - a power not to be underestimated. Otherwise, two distinct songs, with two completely disparate composers and singers .. from two different time zones ... from two different times, eras, nearly 4 decades apart .... but yet ... so similar.

As I said, its all in the blend.

I give you .... Lonely Sunsets.

Lethal! Its key that you mention that this song was recorded at Akanksha's ghetto studios in midtown, and affected by a lot of questionable substance. oops, was I supposed to say that out loud?

Plus, did you know that residents of Bayonne, Elizabeth, Newark and New York, are called "Bennys"?

No, sweetie. I didn't know that. You continue to enrich my life with your Z-100 based teachings.
