4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Indian Lounge & Trip Hop, March 24, 2006

By

All too often, what purports to be "Indian/South Asian" lounge is just some soft noddling music or New Agey music with some sitars and tablas dropped in - and they call it a day.

This however is a great collection of real Indian musicians or at least musicians who really appreciate and understand Indian music ... and of course, real lounge & trip hop music.

About 50% of the CD are definitely cool, exotic lounge - about 50% of the tracks really fall under the definition of Indian trip hop and not really lounge. They are still excellent tracks and if your music horizons are broad - they are excellent Indian trip hop tracks - just be aware they are not all 'lounge or chill tracks.'

The last two tracks are really New Age or old school ambient techno ... they don't hold up as well as the other tracks but overall, an excellent collection of world class tracks.

4.0 out of 5 stars 3rd times a charm... don't miss this one, January 15, 2005

I got a copy of this off a coworker and it didn't strike me on first listen... though kept it around due to the names associated (Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Thievery Corporation et.al.). Through it on my ipod and over the next 6 weeks it would show up in my random shuffle and would rarely get skipped. It is now something that I actively go and turn on (versus just in the rotation) and has become a favorite. This is definitely in the same vein as the Outcaste Newbreed collections. Give it a go..

I RECENTLY PURCHASED AROUND 1000 WORLD MUSIC CDS AND HAVE THEM ALL IN MY COMPUTER AND I PLAY THEM ON RANDOM -- EVERY TIME I HEAR A REALLY COOL SONG THAT I SIMPLY MUST STOP WHAT I'M WORKING ON TO INVESTIGATE WHAT IT IS, 9 TIMES OUT OF 10 IT TURNS ON TO BE ONE OF THE SONGS ON ONE OF THE 4 TANTRA LOUNGE CDS I HAVE. I FELT COMPELLED TO WRITE A REVIEW BECAUSE I TOOK A CHANCE IN BUYING ALL THE WORLD CDS I HAVE TO EXPANSE MY LISTENING HORIZONS AND REALLY WANT TO PROMOTE HOW MUCH I LIKE THIS LABEL.
