I just happened to hear about this fine artist while listening to radioparadise.com one late evening. Nitin Sawhney creates music which is soothing to the soul, his Indian and mathematical upbringing producing profound subtle female vocals strengthened by sitar and tabla background sounds.
You might want to check out his website for more information: http://www.nitinsawhney.com.
I've been listening to three of his CD's, namely: Human, Prophesy and Philtre, the second of which is my favorite up until now.
