For years now, I've always held a mild fascination with India. Be it the general culture & philosophies, the food (god damn , do I love samosas and a good curry) or the politics... The country is nothing if not intriguing for the typical Westerner. Rivaling my interest in Indian cuisine, though, is my on-again, off-again love affair with their music. The typical instrumentation is unconventional to my ear and often their use of vocals can be engrossing and melodically intense to the point of irritation.
