Comments
- "Naraka" is the Hindu place for the expiration of sins after death, roughly corresponding to the Christian concept of hell (or perhaps purgatory).[1]
- Naraka is structurally similar to “Palace Posy” from Boards of Canada’s 2013 album Tomorrow’s Harvest, with a first half that starts immediately with no intro followed by a second half that heavily involves chanting.
Samples / Lyrics
- From 2:39 onwards, a Hare Krishna chant sampled from a short promotional film showcasing the worldwide activities of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) in the early 1980s.[2][3]
हरे कृष्ण हरे कृष्ण
कृष्ण कृष्ण हरे हरे
हरे राम हरे राम
राम राम हरे हरे
("Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna,
Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare"
Hare Rama, Hare Rama
Rama Rama, Hare Hare")
Trivia
- The Hare Krishna chant loops 9 times.
