Nitin Sawhney - Beyond Skin album flac

Nitin Sawhney's Beyond Skin works on at least two levels. First, it's a plea against racism and war, relating, as Sawhney writes in the liner notes, that one's identity is defined only by oneself - that identity is "beyond skin. Second, the music is an extremely accomplished blend of classical, drum'n'bass, jazz, hip-hop, and Indian elements. The album's political statements are seen most clearly in the samples imbedded in the beginning and ending of most tracks.

Nitin Sawhney ‎– Beyond Skin. Label: Outcaste Records ‎– CASTE9CD. This is an album with a time span that runs backwards - it begins with the Indian Prime Minister - Vajpayee - proudly announcing the testing of 3 nuclear bombs on Indian soil. Vajpayee is the leader of the BJP - The 'Hindu fundamentalist' party. These tests first took place in 1998. In 1945, two years before the Independence of India, Oppenheimer, creator of the atomic bomb, witnessed the first test of his creation. Afterwards he quoted from the 'Bhagavad Gita' - the Hindu 'Bible' - in condemnation of his own creation. His quote ends the album

A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent I remembered the lines from the hindu scripture, the bhagavad gita Vishnu was trying to persuade the prince that he should do his duty And to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says "Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds. I suppose we all thought that, one way or another

Almost impossible to classify, Nitin Sawhney's "Beyond Skin" is a bold, deeply personal musical statement. well think again for this record is crammed full of haunting melodies, atmospheric arrangements, excellent singing and tight playing. It's subtext - India's testing of its first nuclear weapons (and all that implies for a UK Indian like Sawhney) - provides the backdrop for an innovative and, with one exception in "The Pilgrim" (a bizarre venture into Indian rap), wholly successful fusing of Indian raga & late 90's club mixes.
