Ex Specials and Fun Boy Three frontman Terry Hall teams up with Mushtaq, an Iranian-Bengali Londoner and former member of Fun-Da-Mental, and records his best work in decades: an album full of hip-hop, Middle-Eastern and Gypsy influences.

The album features a 12-year-old Lebanese girl singer, a blind Algerian rapper, a Syrian flautist, Hebrew vocalists, a group of Polish Gypsies and Damon Albarn.

If you like Asian beats and lilting melodies then this is one of the most important releases this year
