Different Realities
2009 studio album by Siena Root

Different Realities is the fourth studio album by Swedish rock band Siena Root. It´s an album of two musical pieces, where side A is leaning more to the electric side of Siena Root, and side B more to the acoustic. The B-side is a "raagmala", a series of ragas, that stretch from the morning (Bairagi) to midnight (Jog). It's an all analogue production made for reproduction on vinyl. No digital equipment was involved in the making.
