Very introspective music and rich compositions. It's quite lyrical and dense with interesting ideas. The pieces seem to me like the composer's meditations animated, in a Keith Jarrett sort of way. Surely Mahajan is breaking new ground with this exceptional music. This album is a highly recommended listen

"Mahajan’s syncretic, contemporary approach does not belong to a particular style of music, yet as one listens, the music grows quite special as the pianist weaves a dense yet liberating spell over the listener." —Pratap Antony
"Mahajan’s tunes are deceptively simple and most of them lend themselves to easy recall. We believe they also lend themselves to being hits." —BangaloreMag
"Mahajan’s music is, despite the brisk tempo at which it is mostly played, quite deep in its melodic structure, often reflective... the ideas behind his work, as reflected in the titles or themes of the pieces played, are deep." —The Hindu
"The stunning artwork aptly betrays a delightful album that weaves a densely captivating and insightful, yet fleeting and liberating, narrative with its intricate piano pieces." —Wild City ‘Singled Out’
