  You know, I want to like East-West fusion because I like traditional ragas, but all that I've heard sound kind of contrived to me. I really love the K&D Sessions Downtempo stuff. They seem to be able to integrate different styles in a compelling way to me. The sound quality on the K&D Sessions is excellent too. They really know how to play with imaging and soundstage.

    Yes, - goodness, - I could never argue with that at all....

    What about Rachid Taha, Khaled, Natacha Atlas and that enormously popular style?

    Have you also heard Thievery Corporation? What do you think of them?

      I have 'Made in Medina' by Rachid Taha and like that quite a bit. Very compelling rhythms and wonderful vocal style (just wish it had a translation of the lyrics.) Thievery Corporation 'Mirror Conspiracy' didn't grab me like the K&D stuff does, (The slightly latin rhythmic flavor didn't appeal to me) but maybe I should give that another listen. I'll give your other suggestions a listen too. I like The Orb, Aphex Twin, and ambient stuff a lot, starting off as a Brian Eno fan in the 70's.

        I'm an Eno fan from the oldest of olden days..... (Have or heard most all).

        (Have lots of Aphex Twin too).

        :-)

        Cheers Voltaire....
