        I couldn't recommend the new Cheb I Sabbah (called Krishna Lila) more
    highly. Those familiar with Cheb I Sabbah know that he tends to steer more
    towards the Asian part of Asian breakbeat. What I mean is that his records
    are generally Indian music fused with a little electronica, which I guess
    would be the exact opposite of other artists in the genre (Talvin Singh,
    State Of Bengal, etc.....), who tend to focus a little more heavily on the
    electronic side of things. The result is a truly stunning record of
    beautiful Indian devotional music and chants. I'd say that it's his best
    record to date, which is saying quite a bit, since I considered his previous
    album, "Shri Durga", to be an exceptional recording. I seriously doubt
    that any fan of Indian music will be disappointed, as I find that it's a
    record that manages to completely cross over any age or generational
    boundaries; old and young will find fertile listening ground here.
