Additional notes

Album Notes: Full title: Talvin Singh Presents Anokha: Soundz Of The Asian Underground.
This album is a cross-section of some of the dance/drum-and-bass/electronica/beats/ambient sounds coming from young India and those in other countries of Indian decent. The artists featured here mix electronically oriented sounds and samples of traditional Indian music to create a heady sonic stew that is mesmerizing (even if you're not a dance-dance-dancin' machine).
The contribution by State of Bengal, "Chittagong Chill," conjures visions of early 1970s Miles Davis playing with some Indian flutists doing the soundtrack to a film noir spaghetti western movie, with the whole thing mixed by Moby or Goldie. Lelonek's "Kizmet" is a punchy, dizzying drum 'n' bass workout, with driving, precise, relentless beats and sitar and vocal samples. This is a fine sampler for adventurous dance music fans, as well as those who want to get a handle on what's on-the-edge in electronica.

Album Reviews: Q (6/00, p.64) - Ranked #70 in Q's "100 Greatest British Albums" - "...This compiles a posse of artists intnet on pushing Asian tradition in a primarily drum'n'bass adventure..."
Rolling Stone (6/26/97, p.57) - 3.5 Stars (out of 5) - "...a collage of traditional South Asian sounds (sitar, tabla, female chants) set to modern Western dance beats--specifically, the frenetic, highly percussive rhythms of drum and bass (aka jungle)..."
Spin (7/97, pp.114-116) - 8 (out of 10) - "...should drive wack world-music fusionists like Deep Forest and Transglobal Underground clear outta town: Here are accomplished DJs sculpting sounds they intimately know and feel..."
Entertainment Weekly (6/27-7/4/97, p.124) - "From the Asian-Indo-British quadrant comes a hypnotic sonic stew, not quite ambient, not quite world-beaten, but pulsating with an East-meets-West energy..." - Rating: B+

Review of Kiss Presents R&B Classics - Various Artists by  emilystead

Advantages: Suitable For All RNB LOVERS. Puts You In a Dancing Mood.
Disadvantages: Quite Exspensive.

...Kiss Presents R&B Classics - Various Artists Wow what a brillant c.d. Doesnt look all great from the front cover of the c.d but once you pop the c.d into the cd player it sureley does get you in the mood for dancing.. Its not all sad love songs its got the ones that wil make you want to get up and dance the night away. Defenitly the right c.d to listen to when you are going out on a girley night out or maybe even a girley night in with a couple of drinks. Although most people dont really buy c.ds no more as you can download them off the internet for free you wil get the better quality off the c.d instead of a really bad copy of the songs. I Would Reccomend this to anyone well you defenitly have to be a rnb person if you are not then just have a listen i dont know what you would not like about this music its fantastic!... Read review

Review of Ha - Talvin Singh by  kingsanj

Advantages: Original, well produced and excellent
Disadvantages: Has v. deep bass, which may not come across well on some stereo's

...Talvin Singh is known as the main spokesperson for “Asian cool”, he is a classically trained tabla player who has worked with artists such as Björk and Massive attack and won the Mercury music prize and critical aclaim for his debut album Ok. This album starts with the mood-setting One, and then moves on to Mustard Fields, which is rightly declared beforehand as anthemic. The Beat Goes On and Dubla are probably the danciest tracks on the album. The Beat Goes On would fit in a Dj’s house set (well it does in mine anyway) and Dubla with its deep bass-lines and squelchy synth intensity is enough to make anyone dance, or at least sway a bit. My personal favourite is the slow, reflective final track Silver Flowers. Ha is a lot more accessible than Ok, for one thing most of the tracks are vocal, but there is a much... Read review

Tuff Jam Hits The Mainstream
Review of Tuff Jam Presents Underground Frequencies Vol.1 - Various Artists by  dandadda

Advantages: everything
Disadvantages: n/a

...?Tuff Jam? was a DJ/production/remixing duo consisting of Karl ?Tuff Enuff? Brown and Matt ?Jam? Lamont. They worked relentlessly from the mid-nineties until around 2002, when the guy parted ways and began working on other projects. They are responsible for some of the biggest anthems in the UK Garage scene, in fact, I would recommend you do a quick search for their work on the world wide web as they did have some commercial success and so there may be something that they have done that you know! The UK Garage scene was reaching it?s most popular in 1997 and so ?Underground Frequencies Volume 1 was released. A double CD (one mixed, one unmixed) was compiled by Karl and Matt containing the biggest tracks of the time. Tracklist: CD1 (Mixed By Tuff Jam) 1.01 Roy Davis Jr. - Gabrielle (Live Garage Mix) 1.02 Todd Edwards - Push The Love... Read review
