> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by twickster47 \* > **listost** – yup, I’ve got that one also, but of the three albums (four?, since this one is double album), this is both the earliest and my least-favorite. **The Believer** , second in the series, has a version of _Lotus Feet_ that I think is much better – they’ve been playing together longer and are more cohesive. Well, I haven’t heard the latest but I find it hard to imagine you can get any better than the long meditative piece “Mukti”! Will be purchasing the recent albums soon enough. ---

I like the older and newer stuff, slower/more traditional as well as dance-club stuff. \*\* Though technically, she’s Indonesian, her music is _awesome_, and has some East Indian flavor, I think.

yes, i enjoy the sounds too… as mentioned ravi is sweet, so is his daughter anouskha, she really plays the sitar insanely well…just go too the world music section in your local college record store and check it out…or to something a little more mainstream so you can listen to pretty much anything…i’d also recommend music by devotees of Krishna(example temple songs on apple records harrison had a hand in it i believe) lust browse around and expect to waste a little money… ---

And for Indian Tabla mixed into hip-hop, try Tabla Beat Science’s “Tala Matrix” and “Live in San Francisco.” ---

I’m reminded of the Simpsons when Apu has Homer and Marge over for dinner. He puts on a record and it sounds like typical sitar stuff, and then says “oops, wrong speed”, puts it down to 33 1/3 and it’s Sinatra. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/music-from-india/145035.md?page=1)
