Maybe it's because my mp3 version of Turiya Sings is lo-fi to the point of being unlistenable but I'm thinking Divine Songs might be even better - it's more varied, and the tracks towards the end with the gospel influence are a better hybrid of Christian and Hindu music than Florian Fricke achieved with Hosianna Mantra (which would probably be a five star album if it wasn't for that dang guitar.)
And I never ever expected to hear synthesizers in this context without them turning the whole thing into the worst kind of treacly gloop, but she pulls it off, probably because they serve little melodic purpose and are basically just drones. And they're hecka analog. She may have the two best albums of the entire 80s, wow.
