Harri's Blog:
MIDWEST RECORDS This boy is well travelled; from playing bass with Squeeze to working with King Sunny Ade and Natasha Atlas, he has some resume. This world fusion outing finds him paying musical tribute to his departed father and it’s quite a crackling, passionate date indeed.

Reviews
Inside Out
This guy has been everywhere, with everyone, from Africa to Ministry of Sound!
He started the Ethnic World Dance scene some fifteen years ago, a touch ahead of schedule. Pioneer or what?

A handful of people have come along in my musical life and moved me directly, Harri's a genius, put simply, and a vastly underrated one at that
Haji Mike

The Ohm Crystalatia's "Native American Dawn" is the pick for blissing out. All the tracks on the second CD are from Uzma, who does a good of staying out of the source material's way. His sparse electronic touches show some respect for the music and often he's combining Western and Eastern music. It's a deeper alternative to the first disc and a good enough listen to hope for a strictly Uzma album. Searching, spiritual, and trippy worldbeat might be hip, but the album stands up just fine without the ain't-it-cool marketing.
