Can anybody suggest some material to pick up that has Indian singing ala DJ Cam's "New Kingdom", Deep Forests "Media Luna", Bally Sagoo, etc. I'm looking for downtempo stuff on the trippy hip hop tip.

i'm quite partial to transglobal underground although they are wildly inconsistent from track to track. -- Jon Drukman jsd@gamespot.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Plan: Eat right, exercise regularly, die anyway.

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 *

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

- Anokha, The Sound Of the Asian Underground - Whether it's just INDIAN or not I'm not sure, but it's at least something asian. A really really brilliant piece of work, spanning from d&b to ambient, Music for Adverts meets Plug meets Ofra Haza kind of thing. It's a compilation, some tracks with singing, some without, released on ISLAND (or was it their QUANGO sublabel?) I think, in 1996. Pick it up, you won't regret it.
