Anybody else thinks it’s the best Hindi film album to have come in the last 20 years?

Lyrics, tunes, singing, instrumentation, dynamic range, sound staging, consistency... everything perfect.
Oh yes! Lovely album. Gulzar and MM Kreem :)
The recording also has much lesser loudness than normal, which highlights the dynamic passages very well
 
“When the sound of a Baul’s voice penetrates the ear, an inner tree - the kalpa briksha (the tree of time) - awakens to life inside the body and seven flowers bloom, lotus chakras of energy, and honey rises in these blossoms. In exchange for this honey, the villagers give alms of rice, dal and vegetables to the Bauls”.

- From the CD cover, about the tradition of ‘Madhukuri’ (honey gathering) among the mendicant Baul singers of Bengal.

Paban Das Baul has taken the Baul music to the world audience. This is a sparsely, but cleanly recorded album that can make you mantra-mugdha. Gather the honey!

Thanks, listening now, this sounds lovely :)
Another Baul music album I enjoyed was "Baul Fokirer Rabindranath", composed by Kalika Prasad Bhattacharya, folk interpretation of Tagore's poems. The highlight of Baul music has been the evocative singing and the sparse instrumentals. You might like it :)

If you can enjoy the entire album and not raise an eyebrow, you are still young! :)
(And like any good punk album, it will test the speed of your system)
