Bombay the Hard Way

so apparently people generally dont like beats...its very sad because i find that in the beat is where most of the heart and soul of a song can be found... In todays mainstream media, music is so heavily laden with noise that we often times get desensitized to what actually makes a song awesome...i guess what im trying to say is the beats are dope

...so if you like beats... then your library has to have this

Kalyanji Anandji is the name of an Indian composer duo known for their work on Bollywood film soundtracks, particularly action potboilers in the 1970s. One glance at the cover artwork for this LP should be enough to give any music or film lover a head start on these sounds.In 1998, Dan the Automator(gorrilaz) collaborated with DJ Shadow to remix, re-title, and reintroduce this action packed eastern funk to a near-clueless western audience. Floating from jazzy windups to frenzied spy-flick jams, it’s a slick and concise rendering of a very specific intersection of geography and time. Imagine the best aspects of the greatest hollywood funk scores (Superfly, Coffy, Shaft, etc) reinterpreted by bollywood composers, and processed though a modern hip hop sensibility.
