O’s Notes: This is a reissue of music recorded on 2003. The Gourishankar is a Russian band with Vlad MJ Winer (vocals), Doran Usher (keyboards), Nomy Agranson (g, vocals) and Cat Heady (electronics). Alexander Vetkhov (d) and Nail Maksonov (d) joined them for this session. The music is a fresh pop-fusion blend that is catchy. They wrote and produced all of the music, mostly vocals – Russian poetry translated to English – with three instrumental tracks. Our favorite is “Insomnia”. They are among the best of today’s progressive rock bands.
