Realize

One of the most important figures of the Asian Underground movement is the multi-instrumentalist Karsh Kale, who is heard most often accompanying others (among them Anoushka Shankar, Sting, U2, and Norah Jones) but who as a solo artist or co-leader has made some of the most powerful and enduring albums in that style. Realize is perhaps his finest moment as a solo artist, a wildly varied and complex exploration of rhythm and texture that draws on an entire world of musical elements.
