Susheela Raman - Love Trap


"Love Trap" LYRICS: (Your body is a love trap) I have fallen so deeply, so steeply in love The harmony that you charm me with cascades from above Bewitch me, beguile me and lead me astray Don't you fret on me, don't you rat on me, no way (Your body is a love trap) your body (Your body is a love trap) is a love trap (Your body is a love trap) and you captured me inside (Your body is a love trap) Tantalize me and tease me with your tender kiss Your honey lips are impossible to resist Enraptured and lost in your labyrinth I can't say where I end and where you begin (Your body is a love trap) your body (Your body is a love trap) is a love trap (Your body is a love trap) and you got me hypnotized (Your body is a love trap) oh I don't care 'bout the others, don't care what they say I just want to make love to you night and day Lost inside, deep within The pleasure palace of your warm skin The nectar of your lips The motion of your hips I dream of you, night and day (Your body is a love trap) your body (Your body is a love trap) is a love trap (Your body is a love trap) and you got me deep inside (Your body is a love trap) Your body, is a love trap (love trap) And you got me hypnotized You captured me inside (love trap, love trap) You captured me (love trap, love trap) Ahhh (love trap, love trap) (love trap, love trap)

Susheela Raman - Salt Rain 'Maya' (2000)


Susheela sings Maya in English but its seductive Eastern melody is based around an Indian Raga...It sounds East European but has a reggae feel as well (we described it as a stab at 'Armenian Ska', but won't insist on it). It's a love song. Maya is both a name and a word which connotes illusion and enchantment.! As an artist, Raman continues to develop and explore issues of identity with new sounds that celebrate multiplicity. She draws her collaborators from across Europe, Asia, and Africa: Cameroonian bassist Hilaire Penda, Guinea-Bissau born percussionist Djanuno Dabo, American drummer Marque Gilmore, British-Asian tabla player Aref Durvesh, and of course British guitarist and producer Sam Mills are at the heart of this album as they were on Salt Rain. Salt Rain (album) was recorded between October and December 2000 (except Mamavatu which was recorded the preceding February for the Gifted album on Real World). We were lucky to collaborate with some unique musicians who live mostly in London and Paris but are of diverse origins: Guinea Bissau, Cameroun, India, Romania, France, Greece, Egypt, Kenya, America, and Spain. Any record is a meeting of many minds and, now more than ever, it is networks of people, not just individuals, that spark new and exciting work. Everyone brought their own special energy to the music and I am very proud of what we all worked together to create. By Kabir Davis: This album, the debut of Joi's Susheela Raman, was recently nominated for the Mercury Award 2001, Britain's foremost reward to new artists with distinct creative ability. She was beaten by PJ Harvey's new set, but nevertheless, it brought to the attention of Europe the talents of a brilliant new songstress. 'Salt Rain' is by far one of the best fusion albums I have heard. I always thought that only Kila and Afro Celt Sound System knew how to make a good record, and when I first heard of Joi through Real World, I was a little skeptical. On those early records, Susheela stands out, but no one could predict that a solo career would bring so much promise to the world of new age music. That said, Susheela's work here should be compared to Auroville's Nadaka, as well as M. S. Subbalakshmi, and Dead Can Dance. While she no doubt uses these influences in her vocal style and song structure, she is very much an independent and original artist. I thoroughly enjoyed this album. The first time I really listened to it was on headphones, which I thought was the proper method to appreciate a work of this sort. Strangely enough, Susheela's more interesting moments come when she thoroughly bungles up the lyrical content of a song. You must remember that this album is a celebration of the singer as an Indian. The tracks are sung in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi and Sanskrit. The ones in Sanskrit work best, but the Tamil tracks are inexplicable. While her diction is less than flattering on these tracks, it does lend the songs a certain listenability - more so because all the words are phonetically reproduced in English in the liner notes. I think Susheela lost out on the Mercury because the album is far too experimental for the common listener. PJ Harvey, who I think is the poor-man's Fiona Apple, had a great record last year, but its nothing as groundbreaking and revolutionary as 'Salt Rain'. There are a few songs here in English, but to be honest, they are the least compelling of the set. Susheela scores best when shes singing in Indian languages. Of all the tracks, I personally connected with 'Mamavatu'. This song reminded me of attending a Hindu temple in Thanjavur, South India, when I was a child over ten years ago. I haven't heard a song so deeply capture the beauty and spirit of Southern India the way this song does. The last time I heard something like this was on 'Nama Shivaya' by Nadaka, but you can only get that one on the limited French Edition of 'Origines'. Susheela's record label has done us a huge service by releasing this album with all the respect a record of this magnitude deserves. All the musicians are given a page with their picture, and Susheela herself appears very briefly on the painted page. The album booklet is thorough, informative, and a classy production. Lisa Gerrard would do well to learn from Raman's mastery of putting together a debut album package. Unfortunately, this record is not being heard of in America. In France, its a consistent top seller, and its always near the top of the British new age charts. Pity, because the US always misses out on the best musicians (Vanessa Paradis, Axelle Red, The Sealand Poets, All Saints) in favor of lesser, more vapid talent (Spears, Aguilera, Timberlake). Also, with the new success of Afro Celt Sound System in America, one would think that Raman would leap up the charts as well. Well, she deserves to. If theres one new age or classical album you intend purchasing this year, let it be this one. Highly recommended.

World's First Cascaded Raman Silicon Laser


Intel Fellow Mario Paniccia takes us inside the Silicon Photonics Lab in Santa Clara, CA to describe another breakthrough from his team. Nature Photonics Magazine first published Intel's Cascaded Raman Silicon Laser in late February 2008. This could help lead to compact, lower cost silicon lasers used in spectroscopy, sensing and medical devices, as well as used for measuring or detecting greenhouse gasses, methane gas and water vapor.
