Released 9/02 on Six Degrees Records. Written and produced by Gaurav Raina and Tapan Raj. This album blew me away when I first heard it. It's a fusion of (mostly) down-tempo drum and bass, electronica and subtle Indian vocals, mixed with enough live instrumentation to keep it real. From end to end this album is so atmospheric - if only all drum and bass was this good. This is one of the very few albums that I’d give a 10/10 for. Essential.
