Had no idea who Talvin Singh was. As a matter of fact, for a long time I thought this was a Dave Seaman mix! Imagine my surprise.

Quite simply, it's great. It's definitely downtempo but has some cool grooves laced throughout. Another great example of finding some cool songs you might not otherwise here. These DJs are in tune with the world's music in a way most of aren't. As such, they have the ability to weave it all into a glorious tapestry of music.

Definitely worth checking out.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worldish Success For the Back to Mine Series, June 28, 2008

This review is from: Back to Mine (Audio CD)

Back to Mine is a real hit or miss series in my opinion. The 8th album of the series comes courtesy of world music enthusiest Talvin Singh.

After hearing the first 5 tracks of this album, I initially thought Talvin's mix was on its way to rival the great Dave Seaman release. Unfortunately he decided to include "Kabhi Unke Milan Ke Asha Ne" by Swati Natekar into the mix. A terrible track that sounds like something out of a Bollywood movie from India. The mixing is nothing too exciting either, even for a downtempo/chillout album. Otherwise a cool album to listen to and dream the day away. Most of the tracks would fall under the category of "world" music. Usually I find these albums annoying, but Singh's featured tracks are very good (except track 6) and the set is fairly eclectic. A worthy addition for fans of the Back to Mine series.

4/5 stars.
