What happens when you snatch tune nuggets from their original frame of existence and concoct an entirely new pot-pourri? Note utopia has never been the same again, ever since music company think-tanks conjured up the secret of making an Adnan Sami rub shoulders with a Vasundhara Das, and Lucky Ali looked Falguni Pathak in the eye. Compilations have dangled the carrot of indulgence in front of music lovers' eyes, and Sony Music's newest offering is no different.

Wow! All the Music I Like is like an answer to a fervent prayer. Well, most of it, at least. Sony Music has picked the choicest apples in the orchard, and put them all in one basket. You do have a few jarring elements, but they are seamlessly integrated to form one delectable, musical whole.

Adnan Sami's swoon-you-must ditty with a touch of poignancy, Bheegi bheegi raaton mein, lays the verdant carpet for the melodies that are to follow. Sami, who wooed masses into submission and earned a newfound "That's him!" status in the playing of a note, finely juxtaposes the elements of subdued brilliance and sheer power in this gem of a track

Croon Queen Asha Bhosle teases back memories of a gentle gondola ride in Venice with her Do lafzon ki from Songs Of My Soul. Bhosle's vocals intoxicate like vintage Bordeaux wine. The lyrics speak volumes, and reverberate with the soulful, inherent quality of the song.

Other notable notes include Lucky Ali's lusty Tera mera saath rahe from Aks, which traverses vibrant realms and Falguni Pathak's Meri chunar udd udd jaaye, which adheres strictly to the Indian Lyric Guidebook of jaaye-ghabraaye. Euphoria's abandon agenda Phir dhoom and two gems from Piya Basanti, Shaam dhale, and Chale re paint the rest of the colours in the rainbow.

The transition between emotions is instantaneous, yet not contrived. Just as you are drinking in the tranquil orchestration of Sapne hain, Silk Route's labour of love from Pehchan, you are hauled into Vasundhara Das' unbridled vocals in Meri jaan

The merry ride does have a few speed-breakers. My name is Manjeet from Balle Balle Boys' Laddoo Kha does not quite fit into the melodic scheme of things, but helps in fleshing out the eclectic quality of the album.
