Shalom: The Missing Peace is a compilation that's a lot like a slamming mix tape from a really cool friend. Curated by musican-producers Tapan Raj and Gaurav Raina, artists together known as the MIDIval PunditZ, the compilation features ten independently strong songs hand-picked by the duo. The track-listing cuts through the din of the 'lounge' genre, which is overpopulated with unmoving, sleepy, or just plain boring sounds-and serves up the crème de la crème of dynamic chill. |

| A joint venture between the PunditZ and the Mediterranean-spiced Delhi spot Shalom, The Missing Peace offers a taste of the life of the Delhi lounge-dweller; a passport to the city's nightlife. But primarily, it is a peek into the PunditZ' varied music collections: a dose of dub here, the mandatory Asian electronica there, with a dimension of psychedelia teetering around the edges. Each lengthy track is a journey all on its own: the pace and flavor changes within songs, resulting in a collection of gently undulating moods. |

The Missing Peace winds to the familiar and epic with Karsh Kale's "Letting Go," a track which skillfully marries shanthi vocals with rhythms of energy to kick up the pace of the album. The PunditZ chime in halfway through the comp with the awesome "Breakthrough," which flickers with a dark, latently psychedelic force even as ethereal vocals occasionally rise to obscure it.
