I own a cassette of Colors. I had no clue until I read about the Dilip on this album being ARR until quite recently :-). Thats the magic about this group. Each day you get to know new stuff :-) I have been a big fusion fan (indian classical/western stuff) and thats how this cassette found its way into my collection. Its indeed a great album to have ...if u like fusion music and even more if u like KV and Zakir
