Customer Reviews

Wow
What an album! When i saw it, i thought it would just be another serious of various dhol beats. But in fact it's up there with the likes of Nitin Sawhney and Talvin Singh. One of the best albums of the year and a must for everyone, no matter who you are. Kalsi and the others have done a great job here.

A superb world music diaspora from an excellent band
Given his background, you might have expected Johnny Kalsi to have produced a CD very much based on the active bhangra scene. But this CD will be a real, and very pleasing, shock. I was stunned by the instrumentation, arrangements and the shear breadth of music encompassed. World music has become a bit stale and stereotyped but this should revive your faith that musical styles can come together and produce something fresh and extremely interesting. The best CD I've bought in 2001!

Best of the Asian underground
I saw this in my local music store and checked it out against the 2 previous reviews here before buying it. Now I have it I have to agree. Its right up there with Transglobal Underground's 'Dream of 100 nations' and Afro Celt Sound System's latest as being the best examples of dance-oriented 'ethic fusion'. For me the standout track is 'Drummers Reel' with a massive great dhol drumming ensemble that needs to be heard loud.There's a perfect balance between electronica and real instruments to give it a warm yet contemporary feel. If you like TGU and ACSS this is right up your street and I'd also go as far to say that its far superior to stuff from Fundamental and Asian Dub Foundation, while also lacking the cheesiness of some westernised bangra....
