This collaborative piece from Natin Sawhney is a
collection of songs written with reference to, and
in reflection of, the terrorist attacks on London,
that "pervades superficial divides."
The first track, and single to be released, "Days
Of Fire" which features Natty, is a real
insight into the album as a whole, and in short,
very nice. Although there's something not quite
right with the obviousness to the lyrics, (I prefer
such serious subjects touched upon with a little
more subtlety and style,) it's a great track,
as Natty's distinctive vocals lead over a gentle
acoustic and drum backing.
"October Daze" featuring Tina Grace
follows, a breathy vocal number which again features
a well-paced rhythmic background. It's one of
those situations where the focus is on the vocals,
which are fantastic in their own right, but without
them, the song would stand up in its own right
as an instrumental number.
From then the album fades into more oriental softer
pieces, removing the clean beats and sending you
off into a dreamy state, which perfectly completes
the album.
London Undersound features collaborations with
such names as Imogen Heap and Paul McCartney,
and boasts eighteen tracks (although six are interludes)
of brilliance- both in composition and recording.
A treat for the ears, you might say. Another impressive
release that will no doubt receive the praise
that his other works have, and quite a contrast
to his comical work on television. Goodness gracious
me.
5/5
