Sawhney’s latest offering is an excellent display of his natural musical talent. Unlike Prophesy, Sawhney has a much more personal approach to his music. As with his previous albums he still manages to fill the void between Eastern and Western musical influences, pulling the two together creating an delicate mix of styles.
He continues to use the infectious vocals that we sampled on 'Beyond Skin' and 'Prophesy' and combines this with his natural chilled out style. 'Fallen Angels' is probably one of the most beautiful and serene tracks he has ever laid down in the studio, but be prepared for the more dance-orientated tracks such as 'Eastern Eyes' and 'Raag' as they may come as a shock to some, and do take a bit of getting used to. It is clear to the listener that Sawhney is experimenting with new styles and is moving forward in a new direction. We can expect great things to come after this album and if you are a fan of Nitin’s previous work then this is a must have for your CD collection.

I have all Nitin Sawhneys albums and my favourites are the early ones (Migration and Displacing the Priest). Maybe its because they had more focus than Beyond Skin and Prophesy or perhaps the Indian influence was much more to the fore. This album at last manages to bring together Nitin's diverse style into a more coherent (and listenable) whole. I'm not one for the political/personal musings that Nitin goes in for (very sixth form), instead concentrating on the music. The tracks Falling, Heer, Fragile Wind and Raag alone justify the purchase of this CD. The rest are easy enough to listen to which is no bad thing. If you've never tried Nitin Sawhney I would strongly recommend this album over the last two.

I’ve waited a long time for this album….but it was definitely worth the wait!
Just when I thought I could never love another album the way I do, Beyond Skin, Nitin produces this stunning collection of songs, which will leave you in a hedonistic state of pure happiness.
This album feels more like Beyond Skin than Prophesy. Its smoother, warmer, and more intricate, taking a more layered approach than its last predecessor, Prophesy.
On first listening to the album, I thought it was good. As you continue to play it over and over, you begin to hear new sounds, melodies within melodies, and now I absolutley love it.
Standout tracks have to be all of them, but at a push if I had to choose just a few I'd say:
The River – A great opener, you’ll be tapping your toe to this one. Larderdarde’s vocals seem made for this track.
Eastern Eyes - Natasha Atlas is simply haunting on this track and suits Kevin Mark Trail’s voice perfectly. When the beat kicks in, this track takes off.
Falling – This is fantastic! Aqualung’s talents have been used brilliantly to create a truly beautiful track that lulls you into a magical musical soundscape.
Waiting (Oh mistress mine) – impeccable – my favourite. This track will have you mesmerised within the first 20 seconds.
Raag – a great instrumental number that blends that eastern vibe with a light electronica feel. Great build-ups and breakdowns.
Nitin fans won’t be disappointed, Nitin’s trademark sound, which is basically a bit of everything, is well represented on this album. He covers everything from DnB, to Jazz to electronica, mastering all, effortlessly.
If you’re new to Nitin, this is as good a place to start as any. Once you own one of his albums, you’ll be itching to add his others to your collection.

Avoid. Nothing to it.
After hearing the rich variety of musics and experiences in other Sawhney albums, there is nothing here at all. Extremely bland. Even the words don't say anything. Read more

Outstanding spiritual music.
I love this CD. Favourite track - FRAGILE WIND. I disagree with the people who think this is weak or easy listening. Read more

He's done better
Very good album, but not his best. If this is the first you hear, don't be put off. The man is a genius and his older work is the kind of music you don't hear often enough. Read more

Hypnotic
That's the word I would use. I love this CD, it's so dreamy, mesmerising and calming.

A big disappointment
This is the first Nitin Sawhney CD I've bought and could well be the last. There are practically no cultural references here except the sound bites between tracks. Read more

This is getting 5 stars because it is brilliant, but........
Ok, for those of you that are not familiar with Nitin I will make this simple. THE MAN IS A GENIUS. I have all of his albums and this is a truly stunning piece of music. Read more
