Quintessence | In Blissful Company | Album

Released in November 1969, In Blissful Company is the debut album by the London-based band Quintessence, serving as a hallmark of the "Raga Rock" or "Indo-Prog" genre. The record is widely praised for its authentic and respectful integration of Indian spiritual themes and musical structures with Western psychedelic rock. The album is defined by a unique blend of jazz, psychedelic rock, and traditional Indian music. It features prominent flute work by Raja Ram (who later co-founded the electronic project Shpongle) and "acid rock" guitar solos by Alan Mostert. The band's sincere devotion is a focal point, with tracks like "Chant" and "Midnight Mode" incorporating the Hare Krishna mantra and meditative drones.
