Sounds Like: Chill Om Records presents the launch of Swa-raaj on India's republic day, 26th Jan 2008 on the Chill om records official website.swa-raaj:Shut your eyes and feel the rush, the slow intoxication sweeping your senses. Feel like the Bohemian eagle, gliding, free-falling and twirling in the air. It's the freedom of breathing pure bliss- all the experiences that have brushed you past and left you wounded, the spool of thread you have been rolling for so long clutched tight- just let go of it. That slight tingling in your stomach, some kind of de-ja-vu and all the true, real and eccentric beginnings and ends w eave into each other. Plug in to Swa-raaj (self-rule in Hindi) and let the vibrations flow in.If Azaad-E (previous album) brought in the required spirit of freedom and the courage to lead, Swa-raaj goes one step ahead with the progressive moment and promises to be the renaissance that we have been waiting, long overdue. Liberate yourself and celebrate with musical talents from all across the globe. Feel the connection running strong like a thread through the album; it's our time now. Get blissfully high as each of the artistes on the album hold up the torch, paving a new path that will create history. Step-in for a grand treat 'cause this is where you belong.peace and respect the chill om crew
