4.0 out of 5 stars An Aural Journey, October 26, 2008

Nitin Sawhney's new endeavor, London Undersound, is a surreal journey. As in his other albums, he blends myriad sounds into a cohesive and interesting unit. Drawing from international sources as far as India, and as close as Natty's reggae, this album is rich. Worth listening to a few times on repeat just to delve into it. Ek Jaan is one of my favorite tracks, it exhibits that slow trip-hop vibe with international influences. Overall a great addition to any 'chill-lounge' collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars Global Journey through a Variety of Emotions, November 15, 2009

First, the fact that I didn't give this album five stars isn't a reflection of the quality of the music, but is simply a way to give some basis for my judgement (Five Star albums are classics IMO - i.e. Radiohead's Kid A, Michael Jackson Off the Wall etc).

Back to the point. This album is fantastic. I haven't had it long enough to determine whether or not it'll be in heavy rotation, but it's definitely great for a global musically journey. If you can, grab the "bonus track" version. Definitely an album with dark undertones, which if you're familiar with Nitin's music, shouldn't be at all surprising given his penchant for mirroring his music by various relevant political and social issues.

If you can, cop the Bonus Track Version as some of the remixes give an interesting twist to the original tracks (namely Distant Dreams, Shadowland and Ek Jaan).

Favorite Tracks: Distant Dreams (Bossa-ish rhythm with smokey vocals), Shadowland, Bring It Home feat Imogen Heap ("typical" Nitin with a drum and bass infused break), Daybreak and Ek Jaan.

Enjoy! If you're a fan of Nitin Sawhney or globally-infused "electronic" (no, not duff-duff beats but forward-looking rhythms and drum kicks) music it's well worth the money!
