Product Description
From Amazon.com
Call it an aggregation of some of the best contemporary percussionists: Trilok Gurtu, Zakir Hussain, and Asian Underground star Talvin Singh combine under the sonic washes of producer Bill Laswell to show the possibilities of Indian percussion. It's definitely a beatfest, but one of subtlety, where what is being said isn't as important as the way it's being stated, and the dialogue between hands includes a lot of silences. Gurtu comes from a more jazz tradition, Hussein a classical background, and Singh represents the brash young things of the dance floor. Mostly Laswell leaves it to them to provide the sonic entertainment, which is as it should be with delicate swathes of sound barely intruding, just coloring the proceedings. While it's not for everyone, those who love Indian percussion in all its forms will find this album a complete joy. --Chris Nickson
Chronique amazon.fr
Les mauvaises langues auront beau jeu de reprocher au bassiste producteur Bill Laswell sa boulimie tant il est en effet difficile de suivre la cadence ! Du free jazz d'Ornette Coleman au funk débridé de George Clinton, des spoken words de William S. Burroughs à Pain Killer, l'infatigable Bill Laswell est partout où il faut un producteur curieux de tout ce qui se trame sur la planète. Dub, ambient, drum'n'bass et musiques ethniques par exemple n'ont plus de secrets pour lui. Faisant suite à quelques-unes de ses dernières réalisations enregistrées avec un line-up proche et publiées par le label bruxellois Sub Rosa, Tabla Beat Science, comme son titre l'indique, explore sans relâche le monde des percussions à mains nues avec une énergie qui évoque le meilleur de la drum'n'bass. Ménageant quelques plages plus planantes et méditatives, le bassiste rappelle également quel virtuose il demeure, de la trempe des jazzmen Steve Swallow, Jaco Pastorius et Jonas Hellborg. Plus qu'une pause dans l'activité d'un homme pressé, Tabla Matrix est un projet qui tient véritablement au cœur de Bill Laswell. Et qui rend le plus beau des hommages à quelques maîtres percussionnistes indiens dont Zakir Hussain, Talvin Singh et Trilok Gurtu. --Hervé Comte

oh,that Billy-boy!

mr laswell has done many things,but this was quite a suprise!it consists of both chilled and upbeat tala(a middle eastern hand drum)drumming mixed with laz's trademark electronica that gradually fades in and out of the songs.it's a real trip-an-a-half for anyone not ignorant enough to dismiss it as "boring".

This is a great CD. Although the music is fusion, percussions dominate. Completely. Tracks 2, 7 and 11 are just superb. The others are great. TBS proves there are no limits.
If you like "live at stern grove", you should like this one too. The difference is that this is a studio album and so the music has been mixed (well) in comparison to "live at stern grove" where you get to listen to the music as is. Also, this one is percussion-dominated.
The tabla sequences are long and amazing. Its a complete delight. Nothing less. Your will see your fingers tapping.

Max beats
This disc is filled to the brim with super fast and ultra-precise table beats. Add in the sounds of Karsh Kale, Talvin Singh, and Bill Laswell himself and it adds up to one... Read more

Muslimgauze has done this for 15 years already
I would advise anyone to checkout Muslimgauze. In his 15 + years of creating electro-middle eastern (?) music, he has pretty much done all this before, and he did it better. Read more

i caught these guys at a park in san francisco, in the summer... i'll probably always associate the sound of tabla with the scent of eucalyptus. Read more

It Works
In my opinion, Zakir Hussain is the greatest tabla player of all time, and, hopefully this album (Talvin Singh's involvement, in particular) will expose his talent to a wider... Read more
