Check
out the insane dancefloor sitar funk on this very rare LP from
Pakistan - backed with some psychedelic sitar action! World
renowned musician and composer Sohail Rana has recorded literally
1000s of songs in his native Pakistan and among them is ‘Soul
Sitar’, the wildest sitar funk taken from the uber rare
‘Khyber Mail’ LP from 1970 - only issued in Pakistan
and VERY HIGHLY sought after by clued up beatdiggers ever since.
‘Soul Sitar’ is Pakistan’s answer to the hip
sounds that were floating around the cosmos at the time. The
fusion of groovy sitar with hard drums, psychedelic electric
keys and slinky vibes has proved a winner in clubs with all
turned-on and open-minded individuals. Though Rana's funky fresh
East-meets-West fusion sounds like it could've been cut last
week, the innovative film soundtrack auteur actually recorded
the track some 35 years ago as part of his groundbreaking Khyber
Mail (EMI) album, which opened the doors to stereophonic recording
in Pakistan.
