Various Artists – Bollywood Funk (2001)
Little is known about this compilation of Bollywood soundtrack cuts. The liner notes are not helpful at all – they don’t even reference the films these are from, let alone the artists. Even the discogs website has no idea. There is a review over at AMG but I prefer not to put it here because I don’t like to support their hack music journalism over there, and the review is particularly bad in it’s smarmy indie-boy kind of way. This is a great compilation, not necessarily “funk” but definitely funky and also pretty psychedelic, ranging (I’m guessing) from the mid-60s through the early 70s. Anyone who can help out with more info, please leave some comments!
Thank you for this Bollywood Funk =) I am grabbing it now. Thank you =)
