What do Amazon.com customers think?

great grooves

Talvin Singh is a master at his craft, and it's evident on O.K. Elegant tabla rhythms mix superbly with electronic music to create a sublime ambient sound from the Asian underground. If you like ambient music, or Eastern-influenced electronica, you won't be sorry you bought this album.

good aural wallpaper

OK is a really nice mix of drum 'n' bass, techno, jazz, spoken word, and traditional Indian sounds. I like having it on while working, driving, messing about online, or whatnot; It's upbeat, and keeps the intuitive/artistic part of my brain occupied, but it's not at all intrusive. Fun to listen to.
