Reviews & Discussion
This album virtualy introduced me to drum n bass back in 1997. A truly breathtaking achievement in electronic music. The Indian influences on the music adds a whole new dimension to the tracks. I highly recommend this album to anyone interested in exploring electronic or Indian music.
Go to India - every bloody music stall you come across is blaring out bootleg copies of this to appeal to the tie-dye massive! Don't let that put you off though, this is a quality compilation that showcases much of the talent to come from the Asian underground scene. Standout track has got to be Talvin Singh's 'Jaan' or State Of Bengal's 'Flight IC408'. Very, very nice.
