Ok Anna, here it is. I hope you're ready to have your mind blown. Seriously, I don't want to oversell this but it's pretty hard not to get excited about tabla pyrotechnics, heavy dub basslines, and good ol' clean, funky drummin'. Especially with a cast that includes Zakir Hussain, Talvin Singh, Trilok Gurtu, Karsh Kale, and Bill Laswell. I first fell in love with Tabla Beat Science when the girl working at my local Nanaimo record shop put it on. I immediately developed a crush on her; such is the power of this music. Although in fairness, it doesn't take much for me to develop a crush on a girl behind the counter in a local record store; such is the curse of the music nerd.A fair number of projects with these players are full of missed opportunities and don't really deliver on the promise of the talent within. They tend to leave a bad taste in your mouth and leave you wondering why it's so hard for musicians of this caliber to be judicious in selecting the material to release. This is not one of those projects.
