'It was track 3, 'ghasi ram blues', which made me sit up and take notice - a middle-eastern blues song with slide guitar and harmonica? Colour me interested. It was here that i realised that 'Elixir' is no mere piece of generic world fusion - it delivers tracks that are impossible to ignore. This is much more than mere background music.'
