Folks, it turns out that the band I thought was TATTVA is actually the
one referred to above named Kula Shaker. So for everyone who e-mailed me
about how to get their album, I found out they are on the Columbia/Sony
label and the main song is either 'Tattva' or 'Kula Shaker'.

The video seems to be quite popular here in Canada, given that I watch 10
minutes of MTV a week and have seen it twice.
