Search - Talvin Singh :: Ok-Deluxe Edition

Digitally remastered and expanded two CD edition of the Mercury Prize-winning album of 1999 including a bonus 12 track remix CD. Recorded in London, Japan, Mumbai and New York, OK is an album that is at once a startling debut but also a work of supreme accomplishment. It may have appealed to late '90s fashionistas but the musical ideas it is built on have proven visionary, deep rooted and permanent. This is reflected in the remix CD here featuring the likes of Francois K, Richie Hawtin, Leafcutter John and 4Hero. Sometimes, remixes can be more like metamorphoses, in which the original is entirely rehashed to achieve a hipper, more contemporary feel but Murcof, Bastido Cartel and Bass Flo among others pay due respect to the material handed them, recognizing that it requires little or no enhancing or modernizing. OK was a supreme emblem of its times but is destined to last the ages. Universal. 2009.
