Hi
I too heard Nitin's album Human. As Allen says it's an excellent fusion of
Indian and western styles... Particularly liked a track named 'Heer'.
I think Nitin has matured a lot... his last album 'Prophesy' was really a
good amalgamation of sounds from various regions. One of the Indians to look
out for on the global music scene.
Thanks
Naren
