4.0 out of 5 stars The one to get, April 6, 2002

I've searched high and low for 1960's Indian movie music, and this is the best one. It's got rockabilly, funky guitar, Indo-African drumming, Brazilian intros -- you name it -- all mixed in with the indominable South Asian melodies and cheesy yet sweet vocals. These composers had no reservations about incorporating totally dissimilar Western styles randomly into each song. It's a riot, and strangely satisfying.

If you're looking for songs similar to the Rafi cut on the Ghost World soundtrack, here's a good comp. Though the aforementioned cut is not included, there are a couple songs sung by Rafi that are in the same vein, plus a lot of other cut-n-paste rock/psyche/pop weirdness. This is probably my favorite of the stateside-release Bollywood soundtrack comps I've heard. No overlap with any of the other comps I know of...

I LOVE this CD - Bollywood in all it's glory. Love the way Rajastan meets Waikiki Beach in one track (I kid you not surf guitars). Wonderful and strange stuff.
