Artist: Ananda Shankar Title: A Musical Discovery of India/S -Re-G Mach n
Info: OK so everyone knows that the oft-reissued Ananda Shankar & his Music has been considered legendary since the inclusion of `Streets of Calcutta' and `Dancing Drums'' on a Blue Note break-beat compilation. But what most people don't know is that there is plenty more material of the same caliber. Later rarer albums like the two included on this single CD yield equally impressive music-with plenty of tracks waiting to be discovered by adventurous Djs! The seven tracks on A Musical Discovery of India were included on a 45 RPM 12" made for India Tourism Development Corp. released by EMI Gramophone India in 1978. `Kaziranga Beat' is a terrific long jam highlighting the tabla and other tracks like `Namaskar' `The Hill Train' `Akbar's Jewels' and `Brindavan Revel' all have their champions. Then came Sa-Re-Ga Machan a funky strange and exotic madhouse from 1981 which may be the true masterpiece among Ananda Shankar's albums. His rarest record it is filled to the brim with hard driving funk
