The Roland TB-303 basslines and TR-808 rhythms here weren't borrowed from dance culture; they came from a Bollywood session musician exploring his own classical tradition on instruments he'd just learned to play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLight in the Attic is honored to announce the long-awaited reissue of Synthesizing: Ten Ragas to a Disco Beat, the revolutionary 1982 album from composer and musician Charanjit Singh. Pairing Indian classical ragas with then-state-of-the-art Roland synthesizers and drum machines, Singh created an electronic masterpiece that was far ahead of it's time. Recording live at Mumbai's HMV studios, Singh married the past to the future-blending the ancient Indian tradition of ragas (a melodic framework, similar to a scale, from which musicians can improvise or compose) with pulsating, electronic dance beats. Released without fanfare, it faded into obscurity and Singh retired from recording to focus on private concerts, but that's where the story begins\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Raga: Bhairavi\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Raga: Lalit\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Raga: Bhupali\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Raga: Todi\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Raga: Madhuvanti\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Raga: Meghmalhar\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide C\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Raga: Yaman\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Raga: Kalavati\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide D\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Raga: Malkauns\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Raga: Bairagi\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 826853226110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light In The Attic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.7.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"relix.shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49991422247154,"sku":"108248768","price":61.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/Charanjit-Singh-Synthesizing-Ten-Ragas-To-A-Disco-Beat-Colored-LP-Vinyl.jpg?v=1787926622","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/charanjit-singh-synthesizing-ten-ragas-to-a-disco-beat-2-lp-vinyl","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
