Reviews

consumer-grade optical media

As other reviews have pointed out, the audio quality is nice. However, if I'm not mistaken, it is stored on CD-R or CD+R. This media is rated for three to five years (sorry, I don't have a source). Personally, I like the glorian recordings better, available on bandcamp.com, because this recording has a high plucked note that is distinct from the drone and I found it distracting.

useful practice item

This CD contains 2 30 minute drones based on E, and is a great practice/improv tool. Just put it on and go! If you need multiple drone tonics, you might look into getting the Raagini Digital Sitar, but if you're just starting out or know you will be limited to a small number of keys, this is a good option.
