Organic chill-out dance music with world music influences and a spiritual vibe.Jamie Catto, film maker and founding member of Faithless and artist/producer Duncan Bridgeman, joined forces about to create 1 Giant Leap. Their vision was to fuse and share music with artists from around the world. Hence the duo embarked on a journey that took them to Senegal, Ghana, South Africa, Uganda, India, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, United States and United Kingdom, equipped only with laptop computers and a digital video camera.The quality and number of collaborations on this album is just unbelievable. If you like the gorgeous first single"My Culture"featuring Robbie Williams and Maxi Jazz of Faithless, you will absolutely fall head over heels with this album. The haunting opening strains of"Dunya Salam,"featuring Senegal's Baaba Maal, takes you to beautiful Africa, where the musical journey begins. The duo then takes a giant leap to London for the groovy"My Culture."The duet featuring R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe and Indian legend Asha Bhosle -- the veteran Bollywood playback singer that Cornershop paid tribute to in their hit"Brimful Of Asha"-- on"The Way You Dream"is another gem. The east-meets-west musical collaboration here is tasteful, subtle and simply spine-tingling."Braided Hair,"featuring Neneh Cherry and former Arrested Development frontman Speech has hit single written all over it. It recalls Arrested Development's brand of spiritual hip hop fused with an infectious chill-out groove.
