Synopsis

Album Details

Inspired by the Jazz, Funk, and Soul Music Filtering Into Bombay from America and Europe, the Deft Session Players of Bollywood's Recording Studios Injected their Own Saffron-tinged Take on Western Rhythms Into the Films' Backing Tracks. The Result is an Immense Library of Movie Soundtracks that Combine the Traditional Indian Film Music Vocabulary of Soaring Strings and Drifting Flutes with Western-styled Funky Drumbreaks, Grooving Basslines, and Scratcy Wah-wah Guitars. Bollywood Breaks is a Compilation Mixing Today's Indian Film Music with Dance Beats and Breaks.

CD Reviews

Kinda cheesy, kinda silly, kinda fun

Hansol Lee | 11/29/2004

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This is what Thievery Corporation would sound like if they decided to go crazy with the Indian sound. A couple of the tracks are so silly that they made me laugh out loud, and I can't imagine listening to this CD more than once a week, but it's still a lot of fun overall. You very much need to be in the right mood to enjoy this.

While I personally wouldn't shell out twenty bucks for this, I would definitely recommend it to those feeling adventurous -- especially if you can find it cheap or borrow a copy from a friend."
