Telepath – otherwise, the American producer Michael Christie – puts the wide web into world music with this collection of worldbeat dance tunes: his collaborators e-mailed in their contributions from across the globe. The music skeeters from the up-tempo reggae of “Justify” and “Freedom” to the south Asian wash of “Mirrors”. The more solidly Asian tracks, such as “Dust”, with sitar and plucked Punjabi tumbi over a dhol-styled rhythm track, are the most distinctive; elsewhere, the music is homogenised by the programmed beats. 01/17/11
