Classic ISKCON Tapes #13 – Hare Krishna Kirtans – Acyutananda Swami – 1975

Howdy folks! Hare Krishna to you and yours!

I bet you’re all excited because today’s selection is Acyutananda Swami, huh? Well, while Acyutananda beats Hamsadutta any given day, this just isn’t all that great.

I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it’s just not. The first song, Damodarastaka, for example, is horrendous. It’s like he’s trying to sing in one meter and the mrdanga is trying to play in another. No idea how or why they tried this, let alone released this.

The second song isn’t too much better, but the rest of the tape is fairly easy on the ears.

One of the overall problems is that every song sounds exactly the same. These were clearly all done in one take during the same session. That is, with exception of tracks 7 and 12.

All that said, I still think it’s better than a lot of what was released around this time. Check it out and judge for yourself.

1) Sri Damodarastaka
2) Gopinatha
3) Srita Kamale
4) Nitaipadokamala
5) Sri Krsna
6) Sakhi-vrnde Vijnapti
7) Sri Prabhupada Mahima
8) Sri Radhika-stava
9) Yosomati Nandana
10) Hare Krsna
11) Govinda Hari
12) Srita-Kamala
