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.
