Bollywood Sitar Moog OST SHALIMAR original, EX+ Condition
Legendaric Indian funk-Sitar Moog soundtrack in the original Indian edition. The film is about a Mafia boss who wants to select his predesessor. He does so by giving 5 master thieves the task of steeling a huge ruby called "SHALIMAR" from his own castle.
The music is unsurpassed: Title Music - unique Indian instrumental funk track with wah wah and eerie melodies over breakbeats (sort of Star Trek meets Dirty Harry in Bombay), in extreme stereo, and the floorfiller "Let’s do Cha Cha Cha" with moog and sitar ridden passages and sexy singing. But there’s more! Check the ersatz tribal dance music on the end of side one, the sleazy funk song "Baby let’s dance together" and another instrumental tune which is more Deep Bombay Drama. Music by the Indian genius Rahul Dev Burman.
Did you know that this was one of the few attempts at making an Indian film that could be distributed abroad? It features Rex Harrison and John Saxon (the latter playing a deaf and dumb thief - so Saxon didn’t need to learn his Hindi sentences). Needles to say, it didn’t make it to the international screens. Director Krishna Shah went on to make films in the U.S.A. including a black ghetto film and a horror film involving Hard Rock Zombies or nazies. This director is a wild man! Big fat sound, amazing tracks! Arranged by Kersi Lord, cause Burman &
assitants were touring abroad. It's him again.
