Another review<http://www.epinions.com/content_57850629764>, on a different note, talking about Meola's music style says, "*Al is joined by fellow guitarist, Steve Vai, and the two of them race through the complex number in mind-boggling style and tempo.

Now another interesting snippet. A BGM in Satya ( cant remember the scene) starts exactly the way as Raaga Dace (Taal) does.

Re: [arr] Re: ARR & RGV combo a possibilty aga
Thanks Avinash. Now another interesting snippet. A BGM in Satya ( cant remember the scene) starts exactly the way as Raaga Dace (Taal) does. Now wasnt Satya before Taal :)) and then i got to know that that part of raaga dance is a commercial piece available. I was kinda disappointed though, that ARR didn actually compose that.
