Thanks for sharing ! Had the pleasure of hearing Amyt Dutta play live in different bands. This will be good for sure !
I have always liked this compilation cd. Apart from the choice of songs there was something about the sound of this album. I checked the remastering engineer and it turned out to be Steve Hoffman.Highly recommended.

The Spotify version is definitely louder at the same volume settings
On my graphic equalizer spectrum display, the high frequency notes are totally missing in the apple music version

I've found this to be true for Spotify in general. I think Spotify does some kind of DSP - compression , normalisation, or something which makes the tracks sound louder.
Check these settings on your app - intutively, 'Quiet' should give the most 'unprocessed' playback

Creating a sense of mystery is one of the oldest tricks in the music business. Daft Punk, SBTRKT and, more recently, Two Shell – acts known for covering their faces and keeping fans guessing – are all examples of it working successfully. It has certainly helped create buzz around Glass Beams, a psychedelic trio from Melbourne, Australia, who play in ornate gold masks. No one knew who they were until late last year, when founding member Rajan Silva put his name to the project in an interview in Rolling Stone India. Still, they remain elusive, and the other members have so far not been identified.
The group began during lockdown and released their debut EP, Mirage, in 2021, described as “a love letter” to Rajan’s Indian heritage. New five-track EP Mahal is a continuation of this style, which lilts along beautifully. With no obvious lyrics or samples, just textural sounds, the result is experimental, hypnotic and jam-based, melding the melodic tinge of traditional Indian music with Aussie surf rock. The title track is a big tune with a memorable guitar line. Orb is funkier, starting off laid-back before snowballing into an increasingly propulsive rhythm.
With only a few tracks to their name, Glass Beams already have sold-out shows, a rapidly growing social media following and 1.1 million monthly Spotify listeners. With music this good, anonymity is just a part of the appeal.

One of the greatest live recordings! Love it. Speaking of Mingus, just picked this one recently where he revisits his older compositions with a big band. Really good stuff.
