Title: Lame Elements!
Review: Sheer Blasphemy. The achingly beautiful sounds that the Ustad has mastered over the sarangi is nowhere to be found. Its lost in the pedestrian "remixes" but more so the lame vocals that do unjustice to this project. Joe Claussel and Thievery Corp are masters at their crafts when it comes to programming, sampling and all things electro...and they do justice. Listen to "taraana" to see how this project could have been a success have not been for the after-thought, heavily processed mindless bhangra or trance beats. Even with Bill Laswell (atleast credited) on board, this project could not be saved.If you want to hear real, improvised music that actually feeds off of each other - the hindustani and its western counterpart, chk outGood People in Times of Evil- Hellborg's bass just laps up against the Ustad's sarangi atop the funky carnatic beats of Selva Ganesh. Daymn!!!
