From
Talvin Singh's Anokha club comes the Anokha: Soundz of the Asian Underground compilation (featuring two of his own tracks). The album is a startlingly natural-sounding fusion of Indian music and instruments with drum'n'bass, breakbeats and electronics, unlike other
worldbeat-influenced
electronic recordings which feature an abundance of styles but rarely approach true
fusion. Besides the
Singh contributions and the two tracks by
State of Bengal, the highlight is "K-Ascendant" by
Kingsuk Biswas (aka
Bedouin Ascent). ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
