{"product_id":"kula-shaker-k-reinkarnate-cd","title":"Kula Shaker - K-Reinkarnate (CD) PREORDER","description":"\u003cp\u003eThirty years after their groundbreaking debut album \u003ci\u003eK\u003c\/i\u003e topped the UK Albums Chart in 1996, British psychedelic rock band Kula Shaker revisit the music that launched their career with \u003ci\u003eK-Reinkarnate\u003c\/i\u003e, a complete analogue re-recording of their landmark debut. Rather than simply remastering or reissuing the original recordings, the band has returned to the songs with three decades of musical experience, capturing fresh performances that reflect both their original spirit and their continued evolution. The project reunites the classic 1996 lineup of vocalist and guitarist Crispian Mills, bassist Alonza Bevan, keyboardist Jay Darlington and drummer Paul Winter-Hart, bringing together the musicians responsible for the group's distinctive fusion of British rock, 1960s psychedelia, Indian classical influences and Sanskrit devotional music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecorded live to two-inch analogue tape at Middle Farm Studios, \u003ci\u003eK-Reinkarnate\u003c\/i\u003e emphasizes the immediacy, warmth and organic interplay of a band performing together. The recordings were mixed by Peter Miles and Ash Howes, who also worked on Kula Shaker's 2025 album \u003ci\u003eWormslayer\u003c\/i\u003e. The original \u003ci\u003eK\u003c\/i\u003e produced some of the defining singles of the Britpop era, including \"Hey Dude,\" \"Tattva\" and \"Govinda,\" the latter becoming the only song sung entirely in Sanskrit to reach the UK Top 10. These songs return in newly recorded versions alongside album favorites such as \"Knight on the Town,\" \"Temple of Everlasting Light,\" \"Smart Dogs,\" \"Into the Deep,\" \"Grateful When You're Dead,\" \"303\" and \"Start All Over.\" The performances retain the band's characteristic combination of swirling keyboards, muscular guitar riffs, driving rhythms and Eastern-inspired melodies while allowing the arrangements to breathe with the confidence and chemistry developed through decades of recording and touring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond the reimagined original material, \u003ci\u003eK-Reinkarnate\u003c\/i\u003e incorporates three discoveries connected to the album's original recording sessions. \"Shower Your Love\" and \"Drop in the Sea\" were recorded during the sessions for \u003ci\u003eK\u003c\/i\u003e but omitted from the finished album, and both are revisited for this anniversary project. Even more unusual is \"She's So Free,\" an unfinished backing track rediscovered on the original tapes and completed in 2026, bringing the band's contemporary performances together with music recorded three decades earlier. As Mills explains, the intention was not to recreate an unrepeatable moment in the band's history, but to reincarnate the music by allowing the musicians they have become to interact with the songs they first recorded in 1996. The result is a companion to the original album rather than a conventional anniversary reissue, offering a fresh perspective on one of the most distinctive British rock debuts of the decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReleased through Strange F.O.L.K. LLP, this CD edition of \u003ci\u003eK-Reinkarnate\u003c\/i\u003e presents 18 tracks recorded using an all-analogue approach. The collection celebrates the enduring appeal of Kula Shaker's original material while highlighting the band's continued commitment to psychedelic rock, Indian musical traditions and the spontaneous energy of live performance. Arriving alongside renewed international touring activity and following the success of \u003ci\u003eWormslayer\u003c\/i\u003e, the album connects the band's 1990s breakthrough with its contemporary creative identity, giving longtime listeners an opportunity to rediscover familiar songs and introducing a new generation to the music that established Kula Shaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBonus Materials\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecorded in Analogue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHey Dude\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnight on the Town\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemple Of Everlasting Light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGuru Vandana\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShower Your Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmart Dogs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagic Theatre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInto The Deep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTattva\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrop In The Sea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrateful When You're Dead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJerry Was There (Gurudeva jai jai ho)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHollow Man (parts 1\u0026amp;2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e303\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStart All Over\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGovinda\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShe's So Free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAdditional Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Strange F.O.L.K.
