Seconded. This is a great collection, even despite the fact that it's on a major label (Sony/Columbia). :) It's a UK only release as far as I know, so it may be a bit difficult for North Americans to track down. But it's worth hunting for. Other comps on the same tip somewhat include: ANHOKA: Sounds Of The Asian Underground (compiled by Talvin Singh, so you might find it filed under his name - it's on Quango in the US, Mango/Island in the UK) EAST-WESTERCISMS and FURTHER EAST-WESTERCISMS (two excellent double disc collections on Law & Auder Records - not all Indian influenced, it also has a lot of middle Eastern flava, but still great) Greg
