Product Description
Album Description
Bombay Dub Orchestra rolls out its 2008 second album, 3 Cities. Both Hughes and Mackay traveled to Mumbai and Chennai to record with the cities' premier musicians and vocalists before returning to London to mix the album. 3 Cities is where their cinematic soundscapes meet Indian Classical and electronica featuring a huge cast of over 75 musicians. "An absolutely dream-inducing brainwave -Billboard"

An imaginitive and hypnotic sequel as good as their first, Nov 3 2008
By Bryant Phillips - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Three Cities (Audio CD)
It moves in moods, effortlessly shifting from a driving bass to a melancholy sitar, violins rising and falling in time with beats that are a masterful fusion of east and west. If you've heard Bombay Dub's first album, you probably found it "sleepy" at first, but slowly got drawn in. 3 Cities has its soft side, but for the most part its more energized, more integrated, and more accessable. This isn't to say it's better than their previous album, just different. Both are among the best albums of the downtempo/chillout/mood-driven genres, and both albums don't have a single weak track in their collection. I'm addicted.

As good as their first CD, Oct 24 2008
By Augustine C. "Augie" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Three Cities (Audio CD)
I've never written an online review, but I felt compelled to given how much I love Bombay Dub Orchestra's releases to date.It seems the word "fusion" can be found just about anywhere these days, so I've been hesitant to apply it to the works of these particular artists. However, after listening to 3 cities I must admit that they've managed to take what seems to be two traditionally beautiful genres of music; Western/European Classical & Indian Classical and "fuse" them into something in which the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. It's unfortunate Amazon doesn't have sample clips to play for uncertain buyers. I suppose they'll have to look elsewhere online.
Either way, I really do believe this cd warrants the five stars I've given it. If you liked their self-titled debut, you'll love this. If you've never heard their music, but like classical music from Europe or India; take my word for it and purchase this cd.

Exotic, multi layered Indian/Orchestra, rich, trippy, chilled, one of the most innovative and sensual sound experiences out today. Fantastic! Love it.
