I bought the Nitin Sawhney album, but was disappointed. IMO it's more
pop than jazz (as compared to his previous albums), and doesn't have
the dancefloor appeal of the Badmarsh & Shri or any of the Outcaste
compilations. Nor is it as musically adventurous as, for example,
Talvin Singh's album.

Some good recent d'n'b that comes to mind: the London Electricity album,
the Peshay album, Breakbeat Era (yep!)...
