This long-awaited CD combines two of Ananda Shankar's brilliant and very rare albums, Missing You (1977) and A Musical Discovery Of India (1978). Shankar is now firmly established as a pioneer of sitar funk, fusing the musical traditions of his homeland with a solid rock and roll influence - but he also worked in the classical idiom, as the elegiac Missing You (dedicated to his late father) demonstrates. A Musical Discovery, meanwhile, boasts tracks ranging from the mellow Namaskar to the break-laden Kaziranga Beat and haunting Dawn At Varanasi. Originally released in India only, they make their long-awaited CD debut here, complete with biographical liner notes.
