The Indian film-soundtrack cassettes that can be had for a couple of bucks at any

Indian spice shop have long been one of the best buys in prerecorded music. Despite

the fact that hundreds of fresh titles are cranked out assembly-line style each year,

they maintain a remarkable consistency of quality. This CD's ostensible mission is to

introduce the uninitiated hipster to the sitar-, string-, and synthesizer-laden grooves that

characterize the incidental music for most "Bollywood" productions. But album producer

Dan "the Automator" Nakamura has heavily tampered with the original tracks, giving the

songs inanely ironic new titles and even dubbing in additional drum and sitar in an effort

to put his stamp on the music. Easily angered purists should steer clear; for others, it

offers entertaining enough background listening. --Charley Gothic
