The major label debut from the Brit Indian fusionist who's played tabla live for Massive Attack and Bjork, and done a host of remixes. The album is a nice combination of uptempo junglish tracks with atmospheric pieces with violin and Indian vocals (even some Asian ones on the title track - and next single). The first single, 'Traveller', is the most progressive, taking a step towards a Goldie-ish stringed epic. CD will be released in North America in Nov. 'Specially packaged, limited edition release' from UK. 1/1. 'Traveller' the first single - 'the world is sound' - Indian mysticism turned travelogue 2. 'Butterfly' upbeat sitar and junglish tablas, flute, string synths 2/1. 'Sutrix' fast tablas, plunging bassline, female vocal and spacey background 2. 'Mombasstic' ambient-ish track w/ dub bass, syncopated percussion, trumpet melody 3. 'Decca' short track - spoken word intro on Indian mythology to dark jungle bass sounds 4. 'Eclipse' pipe, male chant, violin, classical rag singing 3/1. 'OK' Asian female singing & stringed instrument w/ techno-y breakbeats 2. 'Light' flute, piano and jazzy hip hop drums/tabla 3. 'Disser/Point.Mento.B' violin and ambience 4/1. 'Soni' violin/bass swell ambience w/ female chorus - spoken word ending 2. 'Vikram The Vampire' voice box and ambience, tabla/drums pick up intensity >Date: Wed, 7 Oct 1998 17:20:33 -0700 (PDT) >From: ali <xxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx> >Subject: (idm) othermusic, new (?) talvin singh >To: xxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx >MIME-Version: 1.0 >Sender: xxx-xxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx >Precedence: bulk > > hey all, i went by othermusic today, spotted the new plaid and >autechre domestics for $13. pretty sweet deal... i'm really looking >forward to their show next week. if any out-of-towners need someone to >get them tickets, i can maybe help you out. drop me a line privately. >don't know if it's been mentioned before, but it seems dj wally is >going to be there too. > > anyway i saw what appears to be a new talvin singh album (not a >comp). didn't catch the name... it's white and it's in a weird see >through plastic case that you unbutton to open. and it seems ryuichi >sakamoto has contributed on some of the tracks. anybody know anything >about this release? is it good, or what? it was fucking $28, which >kinda turned me off. especially since i don't listen to my anokha >album all that often. i liked anokha a lot at first, maybe because it >had a real new, fresh sound, but it's kind of worn off now... > > later on, > > -ali > > > > > >_________________________________________________________ >DO YOU YAHOO!? >Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com >
