“ We ask you to let go of any preconceived notions of what music is or should be, and sit back, relax and take a journey through the cosmos and listen to the Alien Chatter,” says Satnam.

Their first album, Music for Aliens, made its debut in April, 2003 and received a positive response from both the Asian Underground musical movement and from the Jazz industry.

Alien Chatter has returned with their sophomore release entitled “Invasion”. The new CD finds the duo of percussionist Satnam Ramgotra and keyboardist Rodney Lee delving deeper into their unique spin on Indo-Jazz that they now call Indo-Jazztronica.

Furthermore, on this recording a few earthlings have joined Alien Chatter on their cosmic explorations. Perhaps one of the most recorded guitarists of our time, Michael Landau, is featured on a few tracks along with Shri Aloke DasGupta on sitar, and Jimmy Mahlis on oud. Bassists Shawn Davis, Rico Belled, and Stan Sargeant provide the low end.
