Bollywood Bloodbath – The B-Music Of The Indian Horror Film Industry

$14.99 ... CD List Price: 15.98 (€11.51 || £9.85 || ¥1532) (approx.)

One of the wildest, most stylistically panoramic and awe-inspiring Bollywood collections we've ever heard – seriously, leave all expectations you might have about about Indian film music compilations at the door – this Finders Keepers set culled from decades of Bombay horror soundtracks is a major eye-opener! Bollywood Bloodbath features work by some of the best and most creative composers and performers from the Bollywood landscape – RD Burman, Laxmikant Pyarelal, Bappi Lahiri and others – and the range of years in which the material was pulled allows for a heck of a lot of styles to come in and out of play. What's great about it is that there's really nothing in the way of cliched horror movie music going on here – it's seedy, brilliantly fused mix of timeless Indian music, psychedelia, funk, disco, feverish percussion, sometimes beautiful and sometimes eerie female vocals and more. There's an oddly foreboding vibe and wigged out screams and more to clue you in once in a while that we're in the horror genre, but not in any kind of predictable way. Incredible! Finders Keepers has raised the bar once again! 22 tracks in all: "Sannata Theme" by Rajesh Roshan, "Sansani Khez Koi Baat", by Hemant Bhosle, "Meri Jaaan" by Bappi Lahiri, "Theme Music From Anita" by Laxmikant-Pyarelal, "Main Theme From Andhera/Darwaza" by Sapan Jagmohan, "Disco Title Music From Dahshat" by Bappi Lahiri, "Bindya Tarse Kajra Barse" by RD Burman and more.  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
