Now, this is a really funny one to try and review.
The first twelve tracks are simply instrumental
versions of some tracks from London Undersound –
so if you know that album, you know what to expect.
Interesting though, how “Days Of Fire”
sounds so remarkably different without Natty's vocals
over the top. Without him, it becomes clear how
very Nitin Sawhney the track is. The sound is very
clean, very simple, but at the same time, every
espect has been thought about to put together a
song which really works from start to finish. Beyond
the instrumentals is a selection of various remixes
– some have a hard-hitting upbeat feel and
others are massively chilled out – and that
is unfortunately why all in all, I don't think this
release works on its own. If you were to put this
album on, the heavy remixes will appear completely
out of place and will throw the gentle and extremely
well-thought-out tracks off-balance. The French
version of “October Daze” is quite interesting
though, very dark and, well it in no-way-whatsoever
does justice to the original track but, it's worth
a listen. Just once. Then take the CD out, and put
the proper album back in. There, the balance is
restored.
2/5
