Rated 5/5

Review by murari Apr 25, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)

This is definitely a classic, a real ground breaker. One look at the lineup consisting of precussion legends and todays top sonic manipulators, you know this is guaranteed to be an interesting listen.

First off I must say those who thought this had something to do with Indian Classical music will be dissapointed. TBS is an ensemble of top artists who joined to push the boundries to electronic music today. And what an amazing job they do! Straight up, powerful, precussion with tribal beats and Laswell's amazing bass and production. Not to leave out the others, Karsh Kale does some fantastic programming on Palmistry, Talvin singh is trippy on the manipulations. All in all I recommend this to all open-minded listeners who like a bit of tribal, dub, and massive Laswell basslines.

9/10
