Amar Prem

More of the Bollywood vinyl, and this time a more mellow piece of work. Music is by R.D. Burman but he's staying away from the full-on dance madness and working with a more classical styled sound, helped by Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar on vocals, with one track sung by R.D.'s dad- S.D. Burman. It's lovely stuff, perfect for that post night out wind down or lazy morning start up. Get it here.

Godard Soundtracks Pt. 2

As genius as Godard's films are, the soundtracks are every bit as wonderful. Here's the other LP from this set. Tracks from A Bout De Souffle, Une Femme Est Une Femme and Alphaville amongst others, and featuring some brilliant Michel Legrand pieces and the utterly fantastic Anna Karina on a couple of tracks. Get Nouvelle Vague ici.

Fareed Al Atrash

Spelled 'Fareed' this time, but the same fantastic voice. There's a few classics here, obviously culled from other albums as there's no dates, recording info or even accurate transliteration of song titles! Still, Farid is the man, and the album is here. In other news, the second Wednesay is fast approaching so it's Discostan time for those in the LA area. Come along, it'll be another stormer of a night.
