The West looked to India during the psychedelic ’60s, and India returned that gaze, incorporating Shadows/Ventures-style guitar instrumentals with Eastern scales and later, wah-wah funk, often into Hindi film scores. This comp collects wondrously unbound artifacts featuring psych-funk outliers (Atomic Forest) plus Bollywood mainstays (Kalyanji Anandji, R.D. Burman, singer Asha Bhosle), often suggesting an alternate soundtrack to the 1968 Blake Edwards-Peter Sellers comedy The Party.
