Overview
Certified Gold Sales
A compulsive and unclassifiable mixture of Indian classical music, flamenco, acoustic drum & bass, hip-hop, jazz and soul, Beyond Skin is one of those albums that vibes in its own excellent orbit. A profoundly humanist album, Beyond Skin further enhances Nitin Sawhney's reputation as one of Britain's most exciting and imaginative musicians.
Beyond Skin a challenge to ideas of identity and nationality, but it's also a fluid, meditative atomic jam with Marque Gilmore, Instrumental, Jayanta Bose, Steve Sheehan and the nephews of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan amongst others.
Beyond Skin is full of rare invention, where atmosphere and austerity coalesce. A music vividly constructed around textures, rhythms, glimpses and echoes completely in tune with the tenor of our times.
