Sublime and Lush.......2005-07-12

I own every album produced by this Nitin. The man never ceases to amaze me. This album is such a lush soundscape of electronically fused cultural music. The album takes you through one of the best journeys that Nitin Sawhney provides for my ears. I especially love the track "Dead Man"

Ecstatically beautiful........2005-07-11

I own every album by Nitin Sawhney except one. He is one of the rare artists whose albums I buy without listening to a music sample first.This particular album is superb and a wonderful introduction to his previous work. This is music for the soul, especially the gypsy soul.This is the kind of music that will lift your soul whether you enjoy it alone or with company.It's the perfect soundtrack for life's contemplative or creative moments.I play Nitin Sawhney whenever I have friends over and they always end up seduced and compelled by the beauty of his music.Don't deprive yourself of a mesmerizing experience.Dive into Nitin's music now!

Absolutely brilliant.......2005-06-24

Writer, producer, DJ, composer & arranger Par excellence - Nitin Sawhney has done it again with PHILTRE, a metamorphosis of cultures, sounds & emotions. As good as "Human", Philtre seems to travel the world with diverse influences from India (very obviously)& Latin America.
The most fantastic quality of Nitin's music is that he makes a statement with every track; he is political (although he denies it) but every track here is treated with LOVE

Outstanding tracks -
1. Flipside
2. Everything
3. Spark
4. Mirage
5. Throw

If you have not tried NS yet, try him with Philtre ... You will not regret it

Customer Reviews:

A surprisingly diverse mix from the Londonese duo.........2003-06-12

The first thing that becomes obvious after listening to "Love Philtre Magick" is that you can't easily categorise it. If at all, that is..
Throughout the 13 songs the mood shifts from eerie easy-listening sounds to doomy vocals (as well as lyrics) even to some light hearted drum n bass as well as several soundtrack-sounding passages.
In comparison with their previous album this is certainly an effort to mix things up more. But in the end, what counts in cases like this is the final result. It doesn't matter how many times you put your ideas in a blender or the quantity of the ideas themselves but how they all stand together and deliver.

In that respect "Love Philtre Magick" is a definite winner.

Keeps you interested but, more importantly, keeps you curious. And that's the ace up the sleeve here as you can't know what to expect as you listen through the album, the surprises keep coming and coming.
The element that's most welcome, at least for my tastes, is that this album has a subtle but constantly noticeable dark side to it. Piano as well as violins contribute to the LP's moody atmosphere. Certainly fits more to autumn than summer even though it's released on a June. It's a dark side that kinda creeps in on you as the songs progress, undoubtedly much helped by the weird lyrics, stories that seem to be inspired by thriller films.
Check it out if you're looking for some fresh takes on electronica.
