Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
This CD is an outlet for the loose coalition of remixers, DJs, and studioheads known as the Asian Underground (because of their Asian or Anglo-Asian backgrounds). They all put a distinctly Indian spin on this music, with the dhol drum at the heart of the beat, and all the technology on top. Singh's two tracks are things of joy, but nothing here disappoints, whether the modern film music of A.R. Rahman or the drum'n'bass of State of Bengal. --Chris Nickson EMD

Description
This album is a cross-section of some of the dance/drum-and-bass/electronica/beats/ambient sounds coming from young India and those in other countries of Indian decent. The artists featured here mix electronically oriented sounds and samples of traditional Indian music to create a heady sonic stew that is mesmerising (even if you're not a dance-dance-dancin' machine).
The contribution by State of Bengal, "Chittagong Chill", conjures visions of early 1970s Miles Davis playing with some Indian flutists doing the soundtrack to a filmnoir spaghetti western movie, with the whole thing mixed byMoby or Goldie. Lelonek's "Kizmet" is a punchy, dizzying drum 'n' bass workout, with driving, precise, relentless beatsand sitar and vocal samples. This is a fine sampler for adventurous dance music fans, as well as those who want to get a handle on what's on-the-edge in electronica.
