New-age hip-hop? Don't wince - this is lovely. The blessedly blissed-out product of Mumbles and Gone Beyond, S.E.V.A. brings brown-rice beats and tofu melodies more likely to appeal to your guru than Gang Starr's Guru. Nevertheless, this disc taps into that same Zenlightened state of mysticism that animated astral jazzers Don Cherry, and Alice Coltrane. - The Stranger
