About Feeling Lonely

Fantasy Without Limits is a studio album by Indian violinist L. Subramaniam, released on 1985 under the Trend label. The album primarily features Subramaniam’s fusion of Carnatic classical music with Western jazz and orchestral elements. The recording format was CD, marking an early adoption of the medium for Indian classical-fusion works.

The album includes Feeling Lonely as its second track. Subramaniam composed and performed the piece, which spans 6 minutes and 48 seconds. The track exemplifies his signature blend of improvisational violin techniques rooted in Carnatic tradition with harmonic structures drawn from jazz and contemporary Western music. Instrumental arrangements incorporate both acoustic and synthesized elements, though specific session musicians or producers remain undocumented in available sources.

Fantasy Without Limits emerged during a period when Subramaniam actively collaborated with international artists to expand the global reach of Indian classical music. The album’s production reflected technological advancements of the era, utilizing digital recording to capture the nuanced dynamics of Subramaniam’s violin. While the full tracklist and additional contributors are not comprehensively verified, the release contributed to his reputation as a pioneer in cross-genre musical experimentation.

The Trend label, known for promoting progressive and fusion music in the 1980s, distributed the album with limited commercial documentation. No chart performance or sales figures are publicly recorded. Subsequent reissues or remastered editions, if any, lack confirmed details. The original CD pressing remains the primary format associated with this release.
