I like SaReGaMa. The use of acoustic and other sounds etc. is always organized in an intelligently composed manner, not merely pieces of material thrown together arbitrarily as one so often finds. The result is better fusion and a much more interesting listening experience.
Because of the multiple styles used on this single album, not always in a particularly "fused" way: (the footnotes acknowledge the different source material), it makes it difficult to know the best ordering of tracks. If I am not mistaken, a number of SaReGaMa's albums do feature multiple styles, and I am beginning to discover that composite albums are rather common on this site.
I am more used to albums conceived as a unified whole in regard to style and theme because I want to be in a particular "groove" when choosing an album for serious listening. Samplers have their place and can be very useful in discovering a group's range, but can I make a plea for more stylistically consistent albums too??
