Pros: Experimental pop at it's most luminous. Cons: ...
While Cornershop is apparently well known in England for their anti-racism stance, in America the band is known for little more than one song. That song, Brimful of Asha, was in actuality more than just a funky, trippy, hip love song. In ...
Pros: Very creative yet accessible. Weighty yet unpretentious. Cons: A few tracks are overly repetitive.
When I was Born For The 7th Time (1997), the third CD by Cornershop, is an eclectic blend of pop, electronica, Indian music, minimalism, and hip-hop. It goes far beyond the merely experimental, however, as listening to this disc is like biting into a...
Pros: Eclectic fusion & still within the realms of pop. Cons: Chocolat, What is Happening?
When I Was Born For The 7th Time was released way back in 1997. By the time I got around to buying this album, it was already 2000. I don't know why I took my own sweet time buying this album. Being an Indian I hardly waste any time buying any...
Pros: smooth grooves and lilting melodies keep the booty moving Cons: the occasional clunker track
Among my favorite albums of the last few years, "When I Was Born For the Seventh Time" weaves hiphop, country, house, and disco into a trance-inducing bangra-rock blend that seduces you track after track.
Pros: This CD offers a great introduction into a band that will heard from in the future Cons: The CD does not flow well. It seems that the CD was one large experiment.

Pros: Interesting album with a lot of variety Cons: the album does not flow - its seems more like an expirement

Pros: smart, accessible, different Cons: feels inessential
Pretty much nothing misses on When I Was Born for the Seventh Time. It's all good. But what's weird about the record is how inessential it feels -- it somehow manages to place itself outside of the kind of standard rock crit. discourse and just...
Pros: truly new. truly good. Cons: The album seems disjointed at first.
This album is simply essential. Everybody should have heard of Cornershop by now. And yet, probably for the single reason that they don't have a video on MTV or a song on top forty radio, this is not the case. The album starts out with a...
Pros: Sleep on the left side nuff said Cons: no cons
Tjinder Singh is an Asian-indie/underground superstar and his band may have made it commercially on the tail coat of Oasis who let them open for them on one of their mammoth stadium tours is an extraordinary band in their own right. When I was born for...
