Now signed to MTV’s EMI Records, the title track from second album “Ethno Hits” leads MTV’s back-to-school campaign. Ethno Hits carries a very emotional theme throughout the album. Lead single “Natasha Atlas / Duden (Talvin Singh Remix)” and “Chicane & Maire Brennan of Clannad / Saltwater (Original Mix)” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. This is one of the best cd’s i have heard through the whole thing.
Chicane & Maire Brennan of Clannad / Saltwater (Original Mix) to me is the best you can get from MTV. Deep Forest / Huahine Reggae is a good listen every once in a while. It is succeeded by an outstanding track, however: Enigma / Push The Limits, which shows, blatantly, how much MTV has evolved as a singer. Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan & Michael Brook / My Heart, My Life (Talvin Singh Remix) is MTV’s best work in years. Within the first few notes of Transglobal Underground / Sky Giant it’s perfectly clear that MTV is living this song. Leftfield / Rino’s Prayer sets the tone for the entire album. Peter Gabriel & Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan / Taboo is nothing but pure genius. Delerium / Temptation as a highlight of Ethno Hits contains a ton of exquisite melodies. Sting & Cheb Mami / Desert Rose still maintains something of a specific flourish. The Chemical Brothers / One Too Many Morning gets you up and jumping. Music of Yungchen Lhamo / Happiness Is … is gentle, never overbearing.
