Subtitled 'Sitar Music Of North Brooklyn', the fourth volume in American composer David First's 'Same Animal, Different Cages' series, is perhaps one of his strongest musical statements since he radically re-invented how to approach the acoustic guitar in Volume 1. While First's sitar improvisations are engrossing and pleasurable to hear, easy listening they are not. This is First challenging himself and challenging you, the listener, to grapple with his unorthodox and experimental approach to this Hindustani instrument.
