I'm not sure what track "Black Lotus" is from, but if you dig Laswell
indian-style, you simply have to buy "Tabla Beat Science" on the Axiom
label. I've spoken about it before, and I still feel as strongly about it
3-4 months after purchase. Laswell vs.the tabla vs. electronica,
brilliantly concieved and easily as powerful as anything I've heard this
year. This one's definitely making my top 10 list of the year (next week)
