专辑介绍
by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
By the mid-'90s, most bands had abandoned the sounds and sensibilities of late-'60s psychedelia, which is what makes Kula Shaker's debut album, K, such a weird, bracing listen. The band doesn't simply revive the swirling guitar and organ riffs of psychedelia, it embraces the mysticism and Eastern spirituality that informed the music. On both "Tattva" and "Govinda," lead singer Crispian Mills has adapted portions of Sanskrit text for the lyrics, chanting Indian mantras without a hint of embarrassment. Similarly, Kula Shaker are unashamed about their devotion to Hendrix, Traffic, and the Beatles, cutting their traditionalist tendencies with an onslaught of volume, overdriven guitars, and catchy melodies -- though they have a song called "Grateful When You're Dead," all of their psychedelic sensibilities derive from British rock, not the more experimental American counterpart. Kula Shaker may play well -- they have a powerful rush that makes you temporarily forget how classicist their music actually is -- but they still have trouble coming up with hooks. About half the record ("Hey Dude," "Tattva," "Govinda," "Grateful When You're Dead") has strong melodies, while the rest just rides by on the band's instrumental skills. Consequently, much of K doesn't stick around once the record is finished, but the singles remain excellent blasts of colorful neo-psychedelia.

- @清欢(及时行乐。)：～
- @未知生物(哦)：。
- @狗窝DogHouse(土嗨／狗窝精神)：很不错
- @黄色潜水艇(微笑，挥手，再见。)：封面的设计带有很明显的印度宗教文化色彩，让人爱不释手。而他们的音乐也像专辑的封面一样，让人感到兴奋，从60年代那种古朴缥缈的迷幻音乐到当今那种混浊的迷幻音乐，从西方的摇滚乐到东方的印度民间音乐，Kula Shaker作了很多有益的尝试。 旋律往往很古怪，但却十分动听，这在“Hey Dude”和“Into The Deep”中体现的最明显，能让你一下子就能记住它的旋律。“Temple Of Everlasting Light”中的打击乐和木吉他的相互衬托，加之主唱飘忽的演唱，已经向我们开始展示这张专辑中的异域风情了。而紧接下来的“Govinda”则是一首不折不扣的印度风格的歌曲，手鼓和节奏的编排都十分简洁，甚至歌词都是用梵文演唱的，无疑，这首歌是专辑里的坐标。 QUQQU (还没跨进门槛，可已经老得...) 2014-06-05 00:34 说的很到位 来自iPhone客户端
- @WhyOceans(2020年12月樂隊近日...)：我是從這首歌認識他們的。就因為曲子帶著那濃厚的印度曲風，第一次聽的時候還真的以為他們是印度的樂隊呢！雖然不太肯定歌名Govinda的意思，但曾經有印度的朋友告訴我「Govinda Jaya」可以解作「掌管跳舞的女神」的意思。英倫迷幻搖滾樂隊「Kula Shaker」專輯《K》一曲《Govinda》。
