Product Description

Following the success of the first Sitar Beat compilation CD, a collection of Indian and Indian-inspried European funky selections from the 60s and 70s, the crew knew they had to come deep for the sequel. So for Volume 2, they go straight to heart of India with some of the rarest, and best tracks recorded between the years of 1970 and 1984. Nearly all of these tracks are appearing on CD for the first time. Sixteen tracks of rare and funky Indian flavor, blending heavy beats with the sounds of the sitar and the inimitable vocal sounds of beloved Indian singers such as the ubiquitous Asha Bhosle and producers/songwriters like Kalyanji Ananji and R. D. Burman. Most of the tracks are culled from Bollywood sound tracks from the 70s and early 80s. Enormously popular, often wild and packed with action and romance, these films put the intense music of star composers like Burman and Kalyanji & Anandji at the forefront. The strange, psychedelic sounds possess their own cultural mish-mash of flavors combining traditional Indian instrumentation and melodies with film music s intensity, and incorporating styles from American/Western music from about 5 years or so behind the trend. All this to say expect funk, psychedelic rock, disco and proto-electro to jump out from the grooves of Sitar Beat Volume 2 and hit you harder than a mouth full of spicy masala. This is soul from the Sub-continent at it s best!

Customer Reviews:

No Sitar on this compilation!.......2007-08-03

I love when label people write up an editorial review because it is so obvious they are hyping a product and it also gives me a chance to compare notes. This compilation has three decent cuts on it. One, Eight and Eleven, effectively combine Indian flavor with western beats or what the label would have you believe is "funk." They are not that funky. See Dave Pike's "Mathar" for more of a four on the floor groove with a nice sitar riff and funky drums. It is not on this cd, unfortunately. There is so much Bollywood reissue out there that this cd coming out in 2007 doesn't really make the cut. If you are a collector... maybe. There is a funny Innagaddadavida rif that starts the third track, but not much more. And again... no sitar! If you just want some background Indian kitsch at your party pick it up.

Album Description

Volume Six of Bridge's Grammy-winning George Crumb Edition features the premiere recording of the composer's only work for solo organ, the roof-raising "Pastoral Drone." Organist Gregory D'Agostino, quite literally pulls out all of the stops in Crumb's "in your face" essay. Also featured on this CD is the first digital recording of Crumb's seminal orchestral masterpiece, "Echoes of Time and the River." Awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1968, "Echoes of Time and the Rive," is among Crumb's most personal scores, with its four movements ranging from intimate chamber muisc to electrifying tutti outbursts. Bridge Records is also pleased to re-issue, for the first time on CD, legendary mezzo-soprano Jan DeGaetani's reading of Crumb's "Lux Aeterna." DeGaetani's relationship with Crumb inspired many of his finest scores ("Ancient Voices of Children," "Night of the Four Moons," etc.), and this re-mastered recording, at long last, restores her masterful performance to the catalog. Piano virtuoso Robert Shannon continues his work on this series with a powerful performance of "Gnomic Variations," and is joined by violinist Gregory Fulkerson for Crumb's eerily beautiful "Four Nocturnes."

Not a review, just a recommendation.......2003-11-04

Crumb's music is not verbally describable except in technical, objective terms. Since this cd had no reviews, I would like to point out to prospective Crumb buyers who are just getting familiar with his music: If you enjoyed Crumb Edition #5 on Bridge, then you will also enjoy this recording. The music is not
"the same" but is equally interesting and enjoyable. For those
of you who bought "Quest" as their first Crumb cd, and were perhaps disappointed, I would like to point out that "Quest"is the
weakest of the Bridge editions, and would highly recommend all other cds in the series as a good second choice.

Album Description

The shimmering exotic sound of East Indian Music has had a spellbinding effect on sizable segments of the Western listening public since the Beatles introduced Ravi Shankar to the pop culture in the sixties. The Sitar, an Indian stringed lute type instrument, has movable frets and twenty-two strings stretched over two gourds to produce the sound that many musicians including George Harrison found so facinating. The accompaning hand drums called Tabla are extremely tonal with fourteen different sounds that can be produced from the goat skin covered bowls. From stately to lightning fast, the exciting, inspired yet mathmatically precise execution inspires the performance and leads it to a facinating conclusion. Experience the music whose influence has been heard in both jazz and rock more than any other form of indigenous music!
