The trigger for Nitin Sawhney's latest project
came from a perception he shared with the singer
Natty that the 7/7 bombings and the murder of Jean
Charles de Menezes had effected a fundamental
shift in the capital's atmosphere. As he put it,
"London's heartbeat has changed". London
Undersound attempts to re-emphasise the city's
multicultural character through collaborations
with singers and musicians from all shades of the
cultural spectrum, their contributions linked via
found-sound fragments, such as street sounds,
spoken commentaries and Tube-train noises. "Days
of Fire" opens the album with a skittering
shuffle-groove and discreet acoustic guitar behind
Natty's claim that "Now it's all gone slow
motion... I'm all out of emotion". Roxanne Tataei
contemplates the individual dream-worlds of Tube
travellers in the subtle samba "Distant Dreams",
the dub groove "Last Train to Midnight" deals with
late-night unease, and Imogen Heap offers
thoughtful reflections on movement in "Bring It
Home". There's a satisfying congruence between the
sound-worlds of Sawhney and Ojos de Brujo in
"Shadowland"; less successful is Paul McCartney's
stolen-soul fear of the paparazzi in "My Soul",
which seems too particular to resonate on a more
general level.
Pick of the Album: 'Shadowland', 'Daybreak', 'Days
of Fire', 'Distant Dreams'
