"Ustad Sultan Khan & Ustad Zakir Husain - Sur Taal"

I hadn't heard of that, either. It caught my eye as I thought its subject matter might be that of an Estonian story / short film, but I've just checked and that is called "Suur Töll".

Sur apparently corresponds to a musical note, and Taal to the beat or rhythm in, I think, Sanskrit. The Estonian translates as 'big mess' which I've interpreted as '(a) heavy toll'.

This short (14 mins) animation film is outstanding, as is its soundtrack which is reminiscent of Children Of The Stones' in parts.

Thanks for the info. That's really informative. I honestly did not know anything about it. A flatmate about 25 years ago left me with the cd, they might even have gotten it from India. Nice for meditative/ background music - for the case of last week - it was on my headphones when working on spreadsheets at work. Will check out the animation - which reminds me I have still to watch Children Of The Stones - been on my to do list for several years ...
