Espectacular disco de sitar psychedelia de principios de los 70. Okko combinó su instrumento, el sitar, con el rock, añadiéndole algunos sonidos electrónicos. El resultado es un más que atractivo disco que recoge muchos temas originales como "Ganges Delta", "Himalaya highway" o "East Indian traffic", junto con un par de versiones de Beatles ("A day in the life" y "If I needed someone").
