Reviews
- Edited 5 months agoget yourself a relatively hi end stereo and give this a deep listen 'cos those vocals and that bass gonna thrill you! And btw I think Rosalia got the inspiration for her 2nd album from this. Really similar vibes. That too deserves a listen.
- A remarkable synthesis of new and old world music, with stunning performances throughout.
Some of the tracks will bring you to tears ('Beyond Skin'), some will make you laugh and marvel ('The Conversation'), and some will just have you smiling and warm (all the rest). In much the same way that "What's Going On?" defined a generational movement for the US in the latter half of the 20th century, this album begins the conversation again for the 21st and keeps in sharp focus our understanding of inclusion and respect.
This first press vinyl album is also now becoming more and more rare, and should end up as important as the original Motown presses of the afore-mentioned Marvin record, for the European and other world collectors of truly exceptional, insightful and just plain beautiful music. - Edited 19 years agoProbably my favourite album of the past 5 years. Absolutely stunning electronic downtempo music with very strong world influences. Sawhney merges classical Indian music with Western electronic dance music beautifully to create a perfect juxtaposition of musical cultures. Just check 'Homelands' one of his best known tracks or 'Nadia'. His use of classical piano lends an almost timeless quality to this album. How on earth it didn't win the Mercury music prize is beyond me. I have very special memories listening to this album whilst travelling around India in 2003, thank you Nitin.
- Great world music. A long time ago jazz musicians startet playing ethnic styles in the sixties. Well this is a modern version with very good jazz musicians and very good ethnic themes from india. Some songs are drum&bass, some are piano sounds and many more styles.
Elle magazine said:"The album of the year" - and they must be true ;)
I wish I bought it on CD...
