Play That Beat Mr. Raja #1 - Selected Oddities From The Tamil Film Industry (1984 - 1991)
Electronic, Funk / Soul, Folk, Indian, Disco





"Play That Beat Mr. Raja" is the very first compilation dedicated to Tamil recordings in the West. It explores the wild shores of these late 80's Kollywood music productions. With an avalanche of cinematic strings, analog synths, mind-blowing vocal punchlines and drumkit earthquakes mixed with folkloric percussive elements, it reveals the audacity of composers such as Ilayaraja, Shankar Ganesh or Hamsalekha.

Covering an impressive range of styles, it features Kamal Hassan's vocoded rap "Vikram Vikram", Shankar Ganesh's disco stomper "Coca Cola", and the irresistible bontempi instrumental "Love Theme", among many other hits. Straddling boundaries between traditional southern indian identity and digested western influences, these selected oddities remain a lesson of creativity and freedom in the world of soundtracks, with their stunning incorporation of the most typical of 80s tools in a classical context, and a constant love for daring structures and demented arrangements.

Dana Gillespie ‎– Foolish Seasons (1968)
Rock, Pop, Folk, World, Country, Psychedelic Rock, Beat





















Mp3, 2003 cd re release
“ Digitally remastered edition of the British actress and singer. Dana Gillespie was a music lover from an early age: "I discovered the Blues when I went to the American Folk Blues Festival in 1962 and also to see the Yardbirds at the Marquee Club. I was in my early teens and hadn't heard anything like it before "

Dreamy psychedelic rock album, with plenty of tracks that strongly hold up today, “dead” is a favorite of mine, a groovy movement in sound.

Wendy & Bonnie ‎– Genesis (1969)
Rock, Pop, Folk Rock, Psychedelic Rock
Genesis, the sole album by SF-based sisters Wendy and Bonnie Flower, ranks as one of the most remarkable unheard albums of 1969. With melodic confections laced with radiant sisterly harmony, the breezy Brazilian splashes and soft-rock strains of Genesis convey a sophistication that belies the artists' tender ages (Wendy 17, Bonnie 13).
