Product Description

Amazon.co.uk

OK is one phrase that's universally known and understood, and on OK Talvin Singh tries for a similar global connection. A classically trained tabla player, he's performed with Björk and Massive Attack, holds his own club nights in London, and is the leading light of the burgeoning Asian Underground movement--in other words, a man of many parts. He brings them all together here--the Bollywood strings, the kannakol patterns of Indian music, and the skittering rhythms of drum & bass and jungle--to create something that is new and thoroughly vibrant. This is Britain at the millennium, drawing on its immigrants, full of Eastern promise, and ready to dive headlong into the future. An album of both intelligence and passion, it is more than OK; it's a complete marvel. --Chris Nickson

Talvin Singh manages to combine the exciting complexity of jungle and dance rhythms with the elegancy of Indian/Asian inspired music. It takes the listener on a journey, through mountains and streams to volcanoes and lightning. He seems to have every human feeling encapsulated on this unique and stunning album. I could gush for hours. The man is a genius. The album is invinsible.

When listening to Talvin Singh's album for the first time, naturally the first track that I flicked to was OK (the title track) which is absolutely mind-blowing, if only the other tracks were up to this high standard. OK is the sort of album where it's hard work to get into it, and once you are - you really have to be in the right mood to appreciate it. When in the right mood, it hits the spot perfectly! OK in my eyes is just that. OK.

This arrived yesterday and I'd played it through five times by the end of the day, the last time at three in the morning, where I just dozed and allowed myself total immersion. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars slow and pretentious
Very over-rated. Most of the album is slow and pretentious. Talvin Singh has just not got the expertise to make decent d+b tunes, no matter how skilled and talented he is in other... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Alright - but not stunning
Some nice fast paced tracks but if you are expecting a chilled out trip like the Cafe Del Mar remix of Traveller you will be disapointed

2.0 out of 5 stars promises much, but delivers little
I bought this album because of the Mercury Music Awards. I saw Talvin performing on the show, and thought/hoped the album would be as good. Unfortunately not. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Calming yet exciting, thought-provoking but confusing...
I am quite sure that Talvin Singh's very unique music style will appeal more to Anglo-Asians than anyone else, but its worth a try for anyone. Read more
