This compilation is more electronic than the first one - some of the songs are excellent but overall, I didn't like as many of the tracks on this one as the first one. Still cool though.

I ordered both Bombay 1 + 2 several weeks ago, having heard about the first one a few years ago. Through limited availability I received "Electric Vindaloo" right away, and then the first one about 5 weeks later.

In that time I absorbed this one and cannot stop listening to it. I was thinking that it stunk upon first listen, but then I really LISTENED to it, and it is AWESOME. Now that I just received the original "Bombay The Hard Way", I think it's alright but I really think that "Electric Vindaloo" is the better of the two CDs ... maybe because of the added mixers and djs? I don't know, but I do know that if you were even curious enough to come read reviews about it, then you will dig this CD!

This one is a little tough to describe, but it's a collaborative electronica album with samples from Indian movies. Worth buying based on the cover art alone, but the music is truly excellent. Lots of funky beats, with a Senor Coconut sense of humor. Some of the tracks are laugh out loud funny. Really cool music; it makes me smile. If you like Kid Koala, you'll probably dig this.

A friend had given me a few songs off this album, but I wanted the whole thing on hardcopy. So glad I got it, it's great! Came in good condition.

i recieved the c.d. in about three days. it was brand new, still shrink wrapped. and it's a great c.d. if you like bollywood with a beat.

Finally a Cd or a two disc album with Bollywood movie theme music remixed with good beats. I was looking forward something like this. And finally its here. I listened to some songs from the first Cd in it was great it brought back the memories of my childhood in the 80s watching hindi movies. It was great i recomended it 99.9% to everybody to listen to these cds.

Disclaimer: I have only listened to part of this album. It is a hodgepodge of samples from "Baliwood" that combines to be both humerous and extremely funky. The first reviewer made a good point, I would say it's like Kid Koala working in a different medium. Speaking of Kid Koala, check out Bullfrog.
