I bought this CD on a whim and was immediately blown away by what I discovered! The opening track on Part I, "Milo," by Trilok Gurtu, is a spellbinding fusion of East and West, featuring smooth piano phrases interspersed with hauntingly fluid female vocals. Part II contains exciting melanges of Urban Hip Hop and Indian Pop, with "Dil Cheez" revealing just how much contemporary pop music is shattering previous cultural boundaries. I recommend this to anyone looking for aural adventures that their feet and heart can enjoy.

Well, not so much a review as a warning. Bought this disc. It's ok as a complitaltion, lot of predictable stuff, not so much NEW. Anyways, playing the second disc 'traditional', got to track 12 and then CUT OFF midway!...no data!, tracks 13,14,15 SILENT!! So mailed the record company, like....where's my tracks? and my new disc?...they were like...uh! NO! that's not OUR responsibility...try the seller! I was like...NO! that IS your responsibility...why should the seller have to wipe your a**e, 'cos your shiftin' dodgy, sub-standard gear? accept YOUR responsibilty. We got no further, and I still have the disc. And it still grates me when it cuts off.
There are better compilations out there, and better still full albums of these and other talented artists. My advice dig a bit deeper. Love and respect to the musicians contained on the CDs.
