4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, October 27, 2005

This review is from: Desi Vibes (Audio CD)
I'm coming from hearing Export quality first, then Desi Vibes (remastered). I thought Export quality to be an EXCELLENT album, very infectious. It's got that dance music done right kind of feeling to it. And if that makes you shudder, keep in mind that by 'done right' I mean produced well, creatively arranged and done with a quality aesthetic which holds throughout the album. Desi vibes is a little more stripped down, and a little more raw than export quality. Export quality shows a direct evolution in the production of their music, but desi vibes just has that rhythmic looped grit that Export quality JUST evades. The CD is very rhythmic, with various eastern instruments, scratches, one mc, and a plethora of creative and enjoyable melodies - while kicking out that constant beautiful backbone hip hop breakbeat.

The music is upbeat, well crafted and layered. Excellent, excellent CD. Has been in rotation constantly

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding East-West fusion CD, July 7, 2004
By 
This review is from: Desi Vibes (Audio CD)
This is my favorite CD. It's a great, lively, tap-your-feet, east-west fusion CD. Here's what it's not:
- too dancey/hip-hop
- too indian
- too anything

It's an especially awesome train/car commute CD - keeps you awake and humming along. Buy this now!!

5.0 out of 5 stars the drone that refreshes, September 26, 2005
This review is from: Desi Vibes (Audio CD)
I loved Dum Dum Project's subsequent album, Export Quality, but apparently for the wrong reasons. I love this album too, let's hope for better reasons.

My favorite track is Mind Expansion, whose eternal loop blends what sounds like a clueless tourist's question with a more dedicated practitioner's command. Jackson Heist is a close second, somehow combining a relentless beat with a loose sashay. Also frequently resident in my player is In Flight, which lives up to its name (somehow I feel I should be lining up at Customs when it's over ... OK, OK, I realize they're based in NY).

But the whole album hangs together - the drone that refreshes.

(Note: I am listening to the earlier 1999 edition, but for this review I don't incluide the 3 tracks that this new 2004 edition lacks.)
