 I expected a bit more July 26, 2007

I am a huge fan of Nitin Sawhney and the first to buy his albums with little disappointment. I should have read the tracks on this album, and realized that 50% of them are already out there on various compilations. I imagined something a bit more obscure. It's a great compilation for the un-seasoned Sawhney fan... Waiting for his next real album.
 He makes some of the most inspiring music on the underground scene today. May 2, 2007

From jazz, drum and bass and hip hop to flamenco and modern orchestral compositions, Nitin Sawhney is one of the pioneers of the Asian Underground music scene.
"In The Mind Of Nitin Sawhney" showcases the tracks that have influenced and inspired him, and includes original and exclusive material specially recorded by the artists themselves.
On this album we find Sawheny in filmic mode with Hermann's theme to Hitchcock's Psycho out to the sort of old-skool soul his last album Philtre delved into with D'Angelo's Brown Sugar and some territory as electronic experimentalist he has trod over and again in Massive Attack's "Teardrops".
Paco de Lucia's short flamenco guitar piece hints at the influences on Sawhney's own playing and some decent updated soul in the form of 4Hero's remix of Nuyorican Soul's "I Am The Blackgold of The Sun" shows he's still where it's at now.
There are pretty well known tracks including a Dylan, Air and Massive Attack as well as remixes of Sawhney's tunes and a couple of tracks from former collaborators Fink and Ojos de Brujo.
Too bad there aren't some more out there tracks but the ones included probably stand him better in the long run than proving he's at the cutting edge of what's happening right now.
There are some classics on here, no duds and a few decent hints as to where this giant of progressive music gets inspiration.
Compiled and mixed by Nitin himself, the album includes two tracks by the artist, one brand new & exclusive.
Each track is segued with pieces of original music by Nitin, creating a story and a cinematic landscape of incomparable beauty.
