Beatles: George's "Indian" songs. I love 'em.

Interesting factoid.

To be fair, though, to your “in retrospect, it sounds two years ahead of its time” comment, the music in “The Chase” is straight Indian classical music which has been around for hundreds, possibly thousands, of years. It’s from the final climactic section of Indian classical music performance called “jhala” which is very fast and energetic.

Although it’s credited to Ken Thorne, I doubt he had anything to do with it.

Totally agree. I might more correctly have said that its appearance on a Western pop record seems two years ahead of its time.

Ken Thorne’s contribution to “The Chase” probably went something like this:

“Play something fast, like music for a chase”
[Indian musicians play something fast]
“That’ll do”

The Rutles parodied “Within You, Without You” with Nevertheless.
