Press reviews:

Part two is dubbed The Relaxation Part", with a more relaxed and calm feeling surrounding the tracks. Cuts that appeal to A/C, Jazz, New Age, Dance, AOR, and even CHR, will make KA JAKEE MUSIC" one of the most successful mass appeal albums!" - Lifestyle Music, USA

"For those of you who thought electronic music went out with the days of Earth Shoes and fat research grants, you may be in for a little shock. KA JAKEE MUSIC, the fifth album by this classically-trained triumvirate, could be the biggest thing that's happened to the electronic genre since Switched-On Bach". To begin with, the music isn't purely electronic. The computers and synthesizers habe been combined with acoustic instruments and occasional vocals that are not only pleasing to the ear, but add personality and warmth as well. In fact, it is the very tension between the electronics that is fascinating.

The music combines many idioms, including rock, jazz and classical. Yet there is a strong Eastern influence as well, such as the use of tablas (clay drums) and the occasional pentatonic minor key, which reflects the background of the band's members (two are German, on is Indian). What's truly exciting is that these varied musical styles and textures are often held together by catchy, enticing melodies. So instead of being saddled with an academic aura, TRI ATMA's shrewd pop sensibility gives this electronic music a high-voltage charge that's pure pleasure." - John McKinney, Manhattan Arts, August 1987.

"New Age music with personality. German/Indian trio's debut is bound to attract attention for its eclectic mix of rhythms. Yummy Moon" on mobile" side, has hit potential; relaxation" side, which includes the album's one vocal cut, is moderately more commonplace but only slightly less appealing." - Billboard 8/87

"Indian percussionist Asim Saha and German guitarist Jens Fischer put World Beat into celestial blender and the result will dazzle any adult alternative listener. If you're tired of hukey-dukey electronic records that spiral into pointlessness and want one with bite and force, grab TRI ATMA. Can't wait for a brand new one. Highly recommended." - Jazz New Release 8/90 Billboard 8/87
