ANANDA SHANKAR.......2007-03-26

I think this is the best of Ananda Shankar, I have been looking for this CD for about fours years, thanks to Amazon you really make my day.

Ananda rocks !!.......2006-09-09

...heard this album for the first time back in 1980 and it blew me away, never thought "jumping jack flash" or "light my fire" could sound that great on sitar, apart from the more mellow stuff on side 1 (old LP version which i still possess) and the more traditional/classical tracks on side 2!! and the fact is that this was his first album...!! awesome!!

Sitar Meets Rock.......2006-02-26

If you have ever thought that western and Indian music would sound fantastic together, this is the album to listen to. Ananda Shankar blends sitar, guitar, bass, electronics seamlessly in these tunes from the beat generation and from his homeland. A smooth sitar replaces the voice, while western instruments provide backings to rival the best beats and sounds of the time. Ananda's musical heritage (he is Ravi Shankar's nephew) is evident in the snappy arrangements and the many exotic sounds. Moving off planet Earth recently, let's hope he's in the best gig in the sky. Although there are a few imitators, this is the one you'll think of as how fusion should be written.

sick old school indian sitar funk hop.......2006-01-27

this is a really cool funky and naturally transcendental album. the sitar playing is beautiful and even very fast and complex at times funkying it up throughout the whole album, Ananda Shankar is a unique master of this instrument playing with immense feeling and originality. the rest of the musicians are really sick too, the drums and bass are really tight. it seems they were all immensely feeling these songs during recording. very creative album, and i love the last track when the Indian singing choir comes on for the ride to make an epic ending to close the album with. sick electric indian funk!

Loathe as anyone should be to reinforce vapid cultural clichés, nothing other than shagadelic truly describes this collaboration between pop sitar player Ananda Shankar (nephew of Ravi) and Sam Zaman, the musician and producer known as State of Bengal. Walking On is a sonic journey back to a time when the sitar's sound automatically signified "psychedelic," a time when composer John Barry's sassy film themes were the ne plus ultra of bachelor-pad sophistication. Shankar (who died shortly after completing the album) plays surf sitar, rock sitar, EZ-listening sitar, and German soundtrack sitar (fans of high-speed jazz-rock sitar, however, are directed to Ashwin Batish). Although Shankar's playing sometimes sounds at odds with Zaman's techno beats, the two make a convincing case for "the '90s is the '60s upside down" argument. --Richard Gehr

ahahaha.......2007-02-12

track #2 reminds me of transformers, no??

i love this CD, and I don't mind the repetitive beats only b/c its more modern than others as badmarsh and shri/ dancing drums.

Shukria Ananda Ji.......2002-10-18

The great man returns with an explosive yet beautiful mix of east meets west. All the traditional Indian instruments are there with Ananda Ji at his magical best on the sitar, and with backing beats from the UK's Asian Underground scene giants, State of Bengal, this album is a must have for all fans of fusion everywhere. The album opens with the title track, Walking On, which slowly takes your mind away from the real world into the land where Ananda is king and where he controls your mind. From then on you are at his mercy, you have no control through the amazing live recording of the Jungle Symphony right up to the equally amazing live recording of Streets Of Calcutta. Then you wake up and realise that the last hour of your life was the best time of your life. Totally amazing, totally brilliant. Ananda Ji, we look up and salute you and simply say 'thank you'.

It glides and grooves, swoops and soars! What is it though?.......2002-02-10

If you are looking for only traditional sitar music then just keep on clicking to the Grampa Shankar section because you won't be happy with this CD I bet. Likewise, if you are looking only for old-school 60s psychedelia/70s rock keep on truckin to those respective sections. And if pure 90s technobeats are your only destination then thump on by this one because this CD will only disappoint or confuse you.

BUT if you are looking for something that could somehow combine ALL of those categories then check this CD out! These musicians actually made it work somehow.

- The song "Betelnutters" is, what, Aphex Twin in the Bombay version of Motown?
- "Alma Ata" is, er, Bangladeshi surf-prog-rock with the Beatles playing rhythm?
- "Jungle Symphony" is, hm, Jethro Tull as a whirling mondo-gypsy on too much curry?
- "Tori" makes me want to gallop a horse or do the frug or something. Both?

Anyways, I thought it might get muddy or lose its energy with time but the CD has plenty of great musicianship and compositional complexity to hold up to repeat listenings. And the grooves just don't let go either. I've been having a ball with this cd. Your Mileage May Vary.

Dont give in to the Hype........2001-12-18

State of Bengal by himself is a fantastic DJ and a masterful producer with immense talent. Anand Shankar is a legend and a true master. Here is the only explaination i can offer to explain the terrible mishap of a album...the stars must not have alligned themselves properly thereby bringing bad luck upon both of them. First of all there seems to be no production value what so ever and all songs seem to go completely haywire. The rythems a totally predictable and sometimes annoying. If your having a big party and you need some baground noise which sounds cool yet does not intrude in the coversation the get this CD but otheriwse.....i am sorry.

Soundtrack For Spies.......2001-08-10

Here's a absolutely unique disc that marks the passing of an Indian music great who had one foot firmly placed in the history of American rock music as well. Thirty years ago, Ananda Shankar came to California to savor the psychedelic music scene firsthand. The mood for experimentation, perhaps at it's zenith then, found Shankar jamming with Jimi Hendrix, among others. Incredibly hard to find, some of his records have recently been re-released, posthumously. Shankar died at 56 just over a year ago, when he failed to recover after a simple hernia operation. This album had been recently finished, and he was working on the second with this agregation. He was the nephew of Ravi, and the son of India's most renowned dancers. His own wife, Tanushree is herself a choreographer. The artistry and appeal of this disc, which can't help but bring his music to a larger audience, makes his passing all the more heartbreaking. Once again, my hat's off to the forsighted and principled folks at Realworld for expanding the the sights of countless music fans throughout the world with this, and other fine releases. It is, of course, hard to describe music with this many facets, but I'm going to try anyway. First of all, by virtue of it's instrumentation, imbued with an obvious sub-continental sound, it shares an immediate kinship with Indian film music,"filmi". But it's so much more. It doesn't seem as comical, as whimsical as your average soundtrack from India. The arrangements are fantastic, totally captivating. The lineup of instruments is not as crowded as are most filmi albums, and the entire disc is without vocals. This makes it undoubtedly easier on the ears of the average listener in the west. It also captures the spirit of the sixties to some extent and would therefore have been a killer inclusion on the Austin Powers soundtrack. There's also definately an appeal for those who've bought those "cocktail" compilations in recent years. It's very much a viable party album. But with careful listening it's a most interesting recording. The production is nonpareil, no mean feat when so many diverse elements are at work. But, work it does. A little over a decade ago, another sitarist, Ashwan Batish, put out an album called "Sitar Power". A mix of sitar, bass, drum machine, and tabla (also played strikingly by Batish), it tried, I think, to capture this general feel with only limited success. He never made a second effort, and returned to playing Indian classical music, which, thankfully he was also quite good at. His father, by the way, played sitar on the Beatles "Help" album. But, once again, I digress. As if the project wasn't difficult enough already, several tracks are live performances. The production on these cuts are absolutely seamlessly placed amid the studio work and come off brilliantly. It is, all in all, the mother of all ethnic fusion albums. Recently, as asian flavors are becoming more popular in hip-hop and dub music, Some of Ananda's material has been sampled, but here's a chance to hear the undiluted truth. An absolute classic.

Transitional Fossils.......2006-06-13

There is a vast chasm between Ananda's two US-released albums, "Ananda Shankar" (1970) and "Walking On" (1999). The former was kitchy (mostly) rock 'n roll performed on sitar, while the latter was sophisticated Indian dance music featuring modern electronic treatments by State of Bengal, aka Sam Zaman. The two albums just didn't sound like they could be products of the same musician.

In a way, they weren't. We learned in the "Walking On" liner notes that Ananda had worked steadily over these three decades, mostly in the Indian film and television industries. He remained intensely popular in India, releasing a number of records that did very well in his native land but all during this time he was off the US radar.

This two-disc set aims to correct that. Compiled from seven different albums for EMI-India, the tracks are arranged not chronologically but in order from "Ananda Shankar" to "Walking On," showing how his music progressed from a rather primitive 'Western music on Indian instruments' concept to a much deeper and more intriguing fusion of the two cultures.

The seemingly-unbridgable chasm becomes understandable, even logical, and particularly on the second disc some of the transitional steps are fascinating in and of themselves. It's easy to see why he remained popular right up to his untimely heart attack on March 26, 1999.

Anand Shankar - The Fusion Genius.......2006-03-09

There is so much to write about this great sitarist/instrumentalist, but all of a sudden i can't find much to write now! Anand Shankar was probably one of the 'pionners' of what many address it as 'fusion' music! He had a head start on this fusion role wayyyyyyy b4 some other were familiar with this term. I hear so many people going nuts over Ravi Shankar, but i don't think Ravi's mucic is as melodious as Ananda's were!!! Ravi is more widely known; where as, Ananda kept a very low profile. Ananda produced less but Quality cuts. Such a great blend of sitar, guitar, drum, tabla...aah list goes on. Another word, if you are looking for an instrumental cd, i don't think there are too many of this kind! I bought every single cd with his name on it and i'm still looking for more (knowing there aren't any new ones). If you have good ear for the music, i can't see how you can be disappointe by this master piece!!!

Excellent Fusion .......2006-03-08

This is a great companion to the "Ananda Shankar" album. The beats are body movers and it's great to hear more than just the sitar as a lead instrument. The sheer genius of this man shows in his arrangements once again because you hardly notice that the eastern instruments are playing alongside the western ones and you get 60's rock beats as well. Where there is singing it is more like skilled melodic blend rather than solo vocals. The tracks have been cleaned up too to give a clean sound. Who wants to buy scratchy vinal remnants after hearing this?

first off, ananda is a boy, not a girl.......2006-10-21

now that we've got that out of the way - this CD is really great - this version of jumping jack flash (my favorite song) is amazing and, I'd say, as good as the original, though clearly different - some talk about this sounding dated, well, yes it does, but so do so many records from 1970, that doesn't mean it's not good

Indian Lounge Music.......2003-12-17

There was a brief flurry of interest in the sitar during the late-'60s/early-'70s, reminiscent of the rise of fake-Hawaiian lounge music in the late-'50s/early-'60s. Both eventually devolved into Muzaky travesties of current popsongs, sure to sound the deathknell of any fad.

While the late Ananda Shankar was one of the few practitioners with any real credentials, his solo album also marked the beginning of the end. There are a couple of pretty tunes ("Snow Flower" & "Metamorphosis") one nice traditional raga ("Sagar") and unfortunately a lot of dreck ("Light My Fire," "Jumpin' Jack Flash," "Mamata," "Dance Indra," "Raghupati") hampered in no small part by extremely dated synthesizer sounds.

While it's nice to see this overpriced collector's album finally reissued, it is by no means the zenith of the genre.

A fusion of East and West , creative and stimulating.......1999-10-13

It was first heard 30 years ago, but it is as relevant today as it was then. The dreams of a talented musician who studied music in the USA, and who came from the famous classical Sitarist Shankar family. Ananda Shankar was a musician who liked Led Zeppelin, Janis Joplin and had a dream to combine Eastern and Western Music. So hear what happened. Hear how an ancient instrument, full of dignity, grace and sentiment and depth of human emotion clashed with the Moog synthesiser, and brought into creation a rock sitar music. Ananda creates a whole bright new sound. Like the music pioneers of the 60's and 70's Ananda has made his mark as the father of a new form of music. A music which has no name, but blows the lid off convention, as true music pioneers do, Like Jimi Hendrix and electronic guitar effects. So many Indians have tried to follow Ananda but cheated by westernsing Indian Music. This album is not "Westernised Indian Music". Oh no - this album is for real. It still sounds like its years into the future. Maybe a sound of tommorrow waiting to be explored. It is as relevant today as any other form of music. Classics like Jumpin Jack Flash leap out at you. Light my Fire gives a gentle and soothing introduction - hear this track first if you've never heard this kind of music. It encompasses all of Ananda's talents.

For clasical fans, the track 'Sagar' calms and soothes. This track is used by many therapists so you might have heard it without realising it.

The only vocal track on the album 'Raghupati' is an old Hindu prayer chant, made unique by the dancing atmosphere of the moog synth.

All serious musicians will appreciate the talent and impressive creativity shown on this album. The rest of us will find that East meets West is definately worth listening to.
