fgarib Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 TALVIN SINGH! Ever since I've had the KHorns, and even before that, I've been listening to Jazz and Jazz Rock, and eastern string instrumentals (ala Ravi Shankar, et co.). Of course, the odd swingy, "boppy" number would surface its head into my listening, but generally classic jazz. Until, that is, a friend gave me Singh's latest album "Ha". What a sound! I was immediately awestruck by this man's ability to put a modern touch on the classical Raga rhythms. And having heard practically every recording that Shankar has released, I have never heard the tabla sound as good as it does on this cd. If any of you are familiar with this guys work, or other similar albums, please do let me know. I could eat this stuff up! Be sure to give this cd a listen. It'll most likely be in the "Ethnic" section of your friendly neighborhood record store. Thanks, -F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been hooked on Ravi Shankars Album Chants which was produced by George Harrison a couple years before he died and it hits my cd rotation often. Believe it or not and don't laugh too hard but the sound track to the last non porn kama sutra movie had some great music on it but really if you dig eastern tunes it had some good stuff on it. I will look for this TALVIN SINGH thanks for the recomendation! The Creatures have a new CD out called HA! which is almost all percusion which is also one of my new favorite albums.
