Yip, I agree with this statement. I have just bought EASTERN UPRISING : Dance Music from the Eastern Underground and although this is a '97 release, which might well have been reviewed at the time (although I can't remember) here's the tracklisting and it's a VERY fine, energetic mix of D&B influences with sitars, tablas, fem vox _a la_ Natasha Atlas, even some rapping. 1. JOI - Goddess 2. CORE - Cocoon 3. EARTHTRIBE - Sitar Funk 4. BLACK STAR LINER - Harmon Dub 5. SAFRI GOES TO BOLLYWOOD - Dum Maro Dum 6. KROME ASSASINS - Return of the Shankar 7. TANGO PADRE - Temple of Boom 8. BEDOUIN ASCENT - Ruffistahn 9. ASIAN DUB FOUNDATION - R.A.F.I. 10. MASTERS OF SOUND - Loaded Mantra 11. EARTHTRIBE - Rude Boy 12. PATRINA - Om 1997 /// SONY I *
