For:Listeners of world music, trip-hop, electronica and fans of cross-cultural musical fusion.

 In the case of this magnificent latest work by the Indo-British artist, "Philtre", the experiment, in my view, is fully successful.

 Prophesy is a record that openly criticizes the side effects of technology in our lives, yet curiously makes extensive use of technological resources to express itself, a paradox that in a way defines its charm.

 Monstrous talent - he plays guitar, piano, tablas divinely - Nitin Sawhney can be considered an intellectual tout court.
