"When their first Cd came out it representd the more lighter fun loving side of the massive asian undergound movement they are a integral part of. By releaseing this cd they have taken a small step towards becoming a little bit more serious and different than their previous albums or their counterparts. The songs on this Cd, at least to me, have shiftted more towards big beat styles rather than jungel or drums and base. Also the have reduced the influence of indian rythems in their songs. The raggamuffin vibes of UK Apache work very well too. What i like the most about htei Cd is the way everything just goes so well together. Production value is of the highest caliber and the mixing is flawless. There are fast paced foot thumping tunes to super cill ballads. This is a great buy and i high high highly recomended it to anybody....not only to the fan of the asian undergound( for whome its a must have)."

"I personally find this a very genreless cd, it flows well from end to end, has high quality production, its funky, different and most importantly, its listenable time and time again. Don't try and compare it to Talvin or Tabla Beat Science because it isn't them. What it is, is a great excursion thru a crossbreed of musical styles. Perfectly executed and very precise. Throw it in the car and go for a nice ride out in the country."

Fine followup from a talented, overlooked duo

"I was a big fan of Badmarsh & Shri's first collaborative effort "Dancing Drums," and I felt assured that any successive output would at least be decent; their musicianship is too good to suggest otherwise. "Signs" is decidedly different from their debut - it's mellower, more fluid and complex. It may not cause you to tap your foot as much as "Dancing Drums" did (particularly their great, booty-shaking cover of "Mathar"), but so what? Now you have a wider range of music from these guys to enjoy, and it's all good."
