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.
