WE ARE THREE
|
| track by track | |
| Haroon's recordings, made in early 1999 in Bangladesh with local musicians, provide the backbone of every track on WE ARE THREE. Here, Farook talks about each track - | |
| Journey
The whole album should be listened to in one sitting, as it takes the form of a journey. This opening track captures all the sounds Haroon experienced travelling in a rickshaw in Bangladesh from Bohor Pur to Syhlet.

Prem This means Love in Bengali, and, in particular is about someone loving you. The vocals were recorded by a beautiful 14-year-old girl when Haroon went over to Bangladesh. Because she was under sixteen, her father had to sign a release form - but, as he couldn't write, he used his fingerprint.

Don't Cha Know That This is quite an old track - the vocals were recorded by Haroon and myself about six years ago. It's a good upbeat, dance floor track.

|
The Holy Side The Holy Side represents an altered state of mind, and is about taking it to another dimension through the power of chanting.
|

|
Deep Asian Vibes A successor to Asian Vibes, and a wickedly funky house track with Asian vocals. It's deep, clubby, not too moody - it's the spirit of Joi, it's what we're all about.
|
|
|
Triatma Triatma means three souls in Bengali, we are three, it's about a coming together, it's about spirituality.
|
|
|
Flying With You This is a slow, mellow dub ragga track, about the existence of some spirit up there. It's about taking a step back, and looking at your life objectively.

We Need Your Vote This closes the album, and is a plea from Joi to support us in what we do - it says sign here if you believe in us coming together.
