Customer Rating:
Summary: Eclipse is the Best
Comment: Eclipse is the best fusion track that I have listened to in recent times. Talvin Singh is very talented with the Tabla
Customer Rating:
Summary: psychotropic fusions
Comment: masterful, visionary, tantric fusions of sound to energize and delight.
A nice complement to the darker works of the band, Male or Female.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Salvaje y Descarado
Comment: Talvin Singh es un maestro de la fusión entre Oriente (escrito con letras de un rojo pasión, sinuosa y aterciopelada la caligrafía) y Occidente (brillante y neón, recto y pulcro). Talvin Singh es almizcle y mirra y opio en la autopista. Talvin Singh es una de mis últimas obsesiones.
Este caballero de ascendencia india ha remezclado canciones de grandes nombres como Madonna, Björk y David Bowie, y sin embargo, su principal aportación, en mi opinión, es levantar la cortina de seda transparente que separa mundos acústicos tan diversos. Albergo con codicia dos de sus trabajos: Ok y Ha.
Ok es salvaje y descarado, un álbum lleno de monosílabos que te invade, inunda y empuja sin timidez alguna. Sus melodías son rocambolescas, llenas de texturas deslumbrantes, hartas de gozo y encanto. Es un viaje en un atestado y humeante autobús indio. Los baches te destrozan la espalda, el olor de las especias te ahoga y dopa, el griterío te excita y aterra a la vez. Y sin embargo, hay un momento de quietud entre la zozobra, una puesta de sol a través de cristales sucios. Una lágrima entre sonrisas.
El mundo está lleno de sonidos, de voces, de ritmos, de melodías. Quiero devorarlos todos, saciar mi apetito descomunal. Talvin Singh me ha llevado al este. ¿Quieres acercarte conmigo?

Summary: great grooves
Comment: Talvin Singh is a master at his craft, and it's evident on O.K. Elegant tabla rhythms mix superbly with electronic music to create a sublime ambient sound from the Asian underground. If you like ambient music, or Eastern-influenced electronica, you won't be sorry you bought this album.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Marvellous
Comment: This is beyond any doubt a very strange album. Since I'm not really into drum'n'bass (with the exception of some rather old Aquasky stuff), it was kind of a risk to buy it. Anyhow, I'm really glad I did so. It contains a magical blend of Indian and electronic music, Singh balances on the thin border between earth and space. The sound of the asian instruments is incredible, since Talvin Singh is a professional tabla-player, the technical quality is far beyond average.
I like it. A lot. The most bizarre thing is that I keep on doing so, no matter how much I listen to it.
Without any doubt a marvellous creation... and you shouldn't doubt a second about buying it.

Editorial Reviews:

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
