Bollywood session keyboardist Charanjit Singh released Synthesizing: Ten Ragas To A Disco Beat in 1982 to an uninterested Indian public. Having loaded up on all the then current electronic music goodies (a Roland Jupiter-8 keyboard, a Roland TR-808 drum machine and a Roland TB-303) he spent two days making his version of Indian classical music and inadvertently invented acid house in the process. It’s lovely stuff, have a listen !
thx Andy Davis and Tara !
