"Sunset" is a glorious track from Nitin Sawhney's 2001 album Prophesy. It features the beautiful voice of singer/songwriter Eska. Sawhney's website explains the background to the album... The millenial epic Prophesy involved a trip which saw Nitin recording 300 musicians around the world, and spanned the range of human experience - from Aboriginal Australia, to a choir of Soweto school children, to a New York taxi driver alienated by technology. http://www.nitinsawhney.com
The track "Street Guru" featuring the above mentioned New York taxi driver is my other favourite track on the album. Sit for a minute and play the video at the bottom of this post and listen to what said taxi driver had to say back at the start of the century about multicultural New York, how we're all becoming slaves to time and technology, and his musings on what's really important in life.
