Album Notes
Personnel: Sheila Chandra (vocals); Steve Coe (vocals, gongs, bells, cabassa, electronic tamboura); Himanghu Goswarmi (vocals); Paul James (soprano saxophone, shehnai); Shankar-Ganesh Orchestra (ghatam, morcing, mridngam); S.S.R. Krishnan (mridngam); Dinesh (congas, tabla).
Recorded between 1982 & 1989. Includes liner notes by Sheila Chandra.
In a two-year span in the mid-'80s, Sheila Chandra, newly liberated from the band Monsoon, came up with four solo albums, including QUIET, NADA BRAHMA, OUT ON MY OWN, and THE STRUGGLE. And then, at the ripe old age of 20, she took a four-and-a-half year sabbatical before returning to the studio for ROOTS AND WINGS.
This album sees Chandra stripping down much of the sound she had earlier built up. The title track and the opener, "One," reveal the interesting possibilities when Chandra's voice is layered, pitting her various identities against one another. The title track is remixed to good effect later in the album; the production interestingly relies on Chandra's vocal drones to provide the bedrock for each song.
Industry Reviews
...ROOTS AND WINGS...now being reissued by Caroline, is music out of a dream, touching on different shores without ever landing... - Rating: B
Entertainment Weekly (05/05/1995)
...lustrous, notable experiments from early in Chandra's eventual evolution, on pieces which traverse the UK and Indian tradition. It's an illuminating piece of Chandra's historical puzzle...
