JSngry Posted May 7, 2005 Report Posted May 7, 2005 ...you gotta love the type of mind that would assemble this type of thing... http://www.dustygroove.com/varfunklp2.htm#380895 Various -- Sitar Beat Vol 3 -- Indian Style Heavy Funk . . . LP . . . $7.99 List Price: $8.99 (Item: 380895) Guerilla Reissues, 1970s Condition: New Copy View Cart The onslaught of Sitar Funk continues -- with 5 exellent bits of funky Indian, all served up in one totally smashing vinyl EP! The grooves here are very much in the best brownsploitation mode -- mixing together sitar-heavy instrumentation with some deeper, more American styled funky backings -- and a few of the cuts on the album are edits from longer numbers, keeping a focus on the best funky sides of the tunes! Titles include "Dharmatma Theme Music" by Kalyanji Anandji, "Sa Re Ga Machan" by Ananda Shankhar, "Hotel Incidental Music" by Usha Khanna, "Theme From Don" by Kalyanji Anandji, and "Su O Dilruba Dil Ki Yeh Seda" by Annu Malik. The onslaught of Sitar Funk continues? I never knew it had begun. Guess I'm even further out of the loop than I had already imagined... Quote

DTMX Posted May 7, 2005 Report Posted May 7, 2005 One of the first recordings I ever bought on the interweb was a compilation called Untouchable Outcaste Beats, after I was blown away hearing the track Mathar by Dave Pike that leads off the recording. Most of the material is drum'n'bass stuff with sitars and tablas, but I still like it. Sounds good in the car on long trips. And the Ananda Shankar recording, Walking On, recorded with drum'n'bass guy State of Bengal (not his real name) is perfect for someone who likes sitars and tablas, but isn't ready to sit still through a whole raga. Very groovy stuff. Quote
