From

Vern Blair Debate: Ooh Ah Ee

From

From Rock Bottom (Hannibal, 1974)

Mulatu Astatqe: Netsanet

Nothing really coherent between these Bollywood Disco, Deep Funk, Prog-Rock and Ethiopian Groove tunes. No have the time to post something as usual. I only hope you'll enjoy the psychedelic sound. Ten years ago, a cousin offered me Rock Bottom and wow! still today I don't really hate listen it again and again. It is the second Robert Wyatt album solo. Maybe his greatest one for the former drummer of Soft Machine...

Bollywood



R.D. Burman : Baby Let's Dance Together and Dance Music (From Hare Rama Hare Krishna)
From
Bollywood Funk (Outcaste, 2000)

You might be familiar with Bollywood funk with the brillant compilation 'Indiavision' released last year on Buda Musique. The excellent soundtrack 'Come Closer' runs again in my mind. Both compilations are a selection of rare stuff and featured great performers like R.D. Burman and Asha Bhosle. Rahul Dev Burman is famous to have introduced funk in Bollywood movies soundtracks.
Bollywood Funk was compiled by DJ Harv and Suni (aka Sutrrasonic), and is an explosion of funk-fuelled grooves from classic Bollywood movies from the 60's and 70's.
With listening 'Baby Let's Dance Together' it reminds me a Massive Attack theme. But I don't know if the group have already mix it. Anyway, enjoy this post.
