I can't understand why this album is not in stock on Amazon. It is sensational! Many artists now combine Indian musical elements with western arrangements, but none that I have heard come close to Sawhneys musical sophistication. Almost all the songs on this album are very strong - they are all beautifully arranged. They are easy to groove or cruise to, but they are also wonderfully put together.

I've just purchased a bunch of albums - Air, Morcheeba, Hotel Costes 6, Chill Out in Paris, Zero 7, 1 Giant Leap. Human is stronger than all of them. 1 Giant Leap is the next best. More melodic and involving than Thievery Corporation.

Nitin Sawhney has elevated his work to a new level with Human. He continues his engaging mix of various musical styles into a blend all his own. The track "Falling" is a massive achievement. This song begins with a very exposed, introspective sound and builds to a lush, sweeping, euphoric celebration. It's one of the most incredible songs I've ever heard. Too bad this album wasn't viewed as worthy of US domestic release. It's a terrific follow-up to Prophesy and well worth the import price.

I must admit that upon first hearing Human I was a little disappointed. It certainly didn't have the immediate positive impression on me that (for example) his first three albums had. Another reviewer says that this album is similar to Prophecy, his last CD. I'd have to agree, but I think that with Human, Nitin Sawhney has again found his form. You have to give the CD time - and it does take a while - but you soon see the vibe that the artist is trying to communicate to you. Once you've found it, you see that Nitin is evolving as an artist and Human says more about his refined direction than Prophecy did. Nitin's ultimate album is still "Migration" IMHO. If you've already got it, then Human (after you've given it time to bed-in) won't let you down.

The first reviews are stupid as hell, you dumb asses! This is not a CD for people who listen to beats and think about shaking thier asses! Nitin has taken it to another level, a level that will be hard to understand until you "listen" to the music. Think of Indian Fusion music and we are now surrounded with the same type of crap, this one is a leader in the industry and only makes sense if you know Indian Fusion, its not about spiritual coolness and lounging with a spliff, its music on a different tip. Buy it, listen, and enjoy!

This album is not as compelling and passionate as Beyond Skin or Displacing the Priest. Some of the tracks have really cheesy lyrics, for example, "Trip no further little sweetie..." made me wince. And one of the female vocalists has a spaced-out, irritating quality to her voice. Most of the songs are limp, which is surprising because based on Nitin Sawhney's earlier works you wouldn't expect that. I would stick to his earlier works.
