New Age music is frequently associated with piano and/or keyboards in the lead, so when an album such as Offerings comes along, you realize the guitar can instill the same sense of peace, well-being, and warmth the best keyboard-driven music can. Keyboards, piano, bass, and percussion also play their parts on this exemplary recording, but Parijat’s guitar catapults this into the genre’s stratosphere. The artist plays with grace and gentleness – its impossible to remain unmoved by the positive energy and relaxing waves that emanate from this CD.
