"...a wonderful example of what "world music" can be when it is driven by imagination and understanding rather than commerce and shallow attempts at feel-good exoticism. Using scales and melodic approaches from India and the robust group momentum of jazz, blending cello and guitar with sitar and bamboo flute, anchoring the intricate, tuneful tabla playing with a well-thumped jazz bass, Antigravity continually surprises the ear with an ensemble sound that is rich and captivating. Special mention must go to Atul Keskar on sitar, Ajit Soman on bansuri (bamboo flute) and Vijaya Sundaram on guitar for exquisite solos. Senders' compositions provide grist for the improvisers' mill and are themselves ingeniously structured, revealing more and more with each listening. Rather than embodying any one tradition, Antigravity takes what it loves from many traditions to fashion a truly specific and appealing identity."
