The new album from Nitin, London Undersound, will be released in the UK on October 13, 2008 on Cooking Vinyl/Positiv-iD. The album not only features musical collaborations - with the likes of Imogen Heap, Natty, Anoushka Shankar and Sir Paul McCartney - but Nitin also worked with esteemed visual artist Antony Gormley, who created an original image for each track on the album, as well as the cover images.
