Rasa – Everything You See Is Me
Here’s an interesting one… Two young musical brothers meet the International Society for Krishna Consciousness and create, possibly the first of its kind, Hare Krishna soul / soft rock album. Chris and London McDaniels wandered into a Krishna Consciousness event one fateful afternoon and met leaders of the Krishna movement, who soon found out that the brothers made music, and asked the pair to produce an album of catchy pop music to promote the ideas to English speaking audiences. The result was Everything You See Is Me, a now-cult classic that’s been known by hip-hop heads for decades and also featured in the “Mellow” section of Chee Shimizu’s Obscure Sound disc guide. “When will the day come when I am yours… Krishna!”
