...this is solid material for a movie, and The Rising has been keenly anticipated, not least because it stars Aamir Khan, widely considered Bollywood's best actor. An aggressive marketing campaign saw images of Khan, looking livid but dashing in his red British uniform, plastered on billboards across India. Theaters were sold out on opening day.

On their second album, Midival Times, the duo probe deeper into the classics with the help of stars like Ustad Sultan Khan and tabla supremo Zakir Hussain. The production is still as clean as computer code and the tracks retain a dance feel, but they are more measured and the beats are as likely to be hammered out by hand as manufactured on a synthesizer.
