Mixing beats to ethnic samples is nothing new. Increasingly it has moved toward a bland, easy-listening, new ageism that is non-aggressive and uncontroversial.

This serves mainly as high quality background music. It's not until you reach Wally Brill's 'A Loop In Time', taken from the album Covenant (but here remixed by seasoned veterans Banco de Gaia), that you really take notice. It utilises a sample of Jewish liturgical singing over an analog sounding electro-dub backing, to powerful effect.
From then on things pick up with the table and sitar sounds of DJ Cheb i Sabbah's 'Ganga Dev', followed by an effective collaboration with Youth, Simon Posford and Saul Davies, and Banco de Gaia's own 'I Love Baby Cheesy' which is much more directly suited to the dancefloor.
