Indestructible Asian Beats 2 (2003)

New and established artists have been hand-picked to demonstrate the immense diversity of the scene, with music ranging from Bollywood soundtracks to Bhangra, from Asian chill to Panjabi party music - not to mentioned the politically and musical charged sounds of Asian Dub Foundation given the remix treatment via Japan, and a rare cut from the immensely talented Panjabi MC.

Indestructible Asian Beats 2 is one of the albums I bought from London in October. I haven't written about it before, because I wasn't impressed with the music. Well, I had lots to listen and somehow I left this album aside. This definitely doesn't mean that I still think about it as a bad collection of music.
Relistening my CD's, I found that it's a really good compilation of different Asian music styles. Also, there's artists that I know nothing before and now I feel like buying their album if possible. For example Gubi Sandhu & MC Coppa's Nakhra is excellent track! Alittle bit of reggae rhythm and catchy refrain makes it my new favourite! My second favourite track from this album is Recycler's Sensi & Foxy. It's a great track with very nice samples in it. Interesting is that Recycler is a French duo! There's also many famous and great artists on this album:

Midival Punditz is as good as always. They are represented with Bhangra Fever. Great dnb track! Asian Dub Foundation is also on the disc with P.K.N.B. (Dry & Heavy Connection Dub). This mix by Japanese is great. Jungle-breakbat style suits well to this track. It's something that I would play as a DJ at a party! Swami is as good as always with Mehbooba. Also a party track! Badmarsh & Shri's Get Up is refreshing because of it's funky beats! Fresh beats is also in 66 Meters by Indian Ropeman. It is 9 minutes long track and to be honest, it feels like it's two different tracks in one. Very nice lazy beats, but after previous artists, I'd like to go on with breakbeat or something more suitable for the club dancefloor. Ohterwise, 66 meters is one of my favourites from Indian Ropeman! And don't forget Panjabi MC! Album full of stars!

That's almost about it. I find this album to be very good and I like that it's almost full of great dancefloor tracks. I hope Now I just wait until Swami's album comes out in august. This is going to be album of the year or at least one of them!
