By taking traditional Indian instruments and musical structures and grafting them with Western techno production techniques, he's created a unique "brown-guy" niche in dance music previously populated by cornholes like Apache Indian. The man already has an impressive resume, leading the British Indian music collective Asian Dub Underground and having contributed to records by Björk and Massive Attack. He's also a talented composer in his own right.Singh doesn't just stick some sitars over a breakbeat-- the arrangements of tablas, strings, and frenzied backbeats is allowed full prominence here. Talvin Singh is a master at his craft, and it's evident on O.K. Elegant tabla rhythms mix superbly with electronic music to create a sublime ambient sound from the Asian underground.Rather, he exploits the inherent tendencies of "intelligent" drum-and-bass and classical Indian music (ethereal chords and complex time signatures respectively) to find a natural point of intersection between the two, thereby developing an entirely new style.OK echoes those notorious sessions of Miles' fusion era not only in its moments of brilliance and spirit of unedited improvisation, but also in the occasional self-indulgent mess. If you like ambient music, or Eastern-influenced electronica, you won't be sorry you bought this album.
