Summary: Talvin Singh is truly the Asian Underground ambassador
Comment: I'd heard Flight IC408 years ago, never really gave it much attention. Then one day, at my ex's house, I spotted Anokha on her CD rack. I popped it in, and was blown away. Jaan is one of the coolest tracks I've ever heard, I'm still trying to find a set to hook it into(and I'm close). I do agree with one of the other reviewers in that the album has flow problems, and it jumps too much at some points. On the whole, though, I love it. Can't wait to get into more of his stuff. :)

Summary: not very happy
Comment: I bought this CD thinking about the indian-electronic music, and i get disappointed when i heard it, it hasn't the indian essence like other CD's, it's more electronic than anything, and believe me that i'm a fan of talvin singh, karsh kale, cheb i sabbah and more...but anyway it has few cool songs, all are from talvin singh, one from state of bengal "flight IC408" and from Rahman (mumbai theme tune), it's like a bollywood score
Customer Rating:
Summary: Horrible!!
Comment: I bought this CD because so many good reviews about it were listed, but man!! what a terrible dissapointment. This CD is just plain awfull and I think I have an eclectic music taste. This is TRANCE music, only one track remained in my collection and that was "Chitagong Chill". The rest were trash.
I should have known because I purchased "Ha" before, another Talving Singh CD and only one track was good on that one "Mustard Fields". You really have to be spaced out on acid to get into any of this stuff if you ask me. I made myself a note to NEVER purchase another Talvin Singh CD. I don't know how this got so many good reviews, so I had to cast my vote and try to balance the scales here.

Summary: Singh
Comment: Pretty good CD. Not exactly enough Asian influence for me.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Loved it!
Comment: As a new fan to the Asian underground, I was very pleased with this album. I was not quite sure what to expect but was pleasantly pleased with the variety of music on this CD. The two songs by Talvin Singh himself were my absolute favorite. I would definitely recommend it!

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
