70's ロンドンの伝説 MUSHROOM RECORDS から、1972年にリリースされたインド人音楽家 NITAI DASGUPTA のデビュー作『SONGS OF INDIA』がストレートリイシュー!!
タンブラやシタールといった弦楽器、タブラなどの打楽器といったインド由来の伝統楽器を効果的に使用したインド・フォークが、early 70's なサイケリックと出会った、インド人音楽として当時UKでもっと注目を浴びた氏ならでは鬼作。



Manufactured Recordings reissues two Indian Classical LPs, S?ongs Of India from prominent vocalist ?Nitai Dasgupta a?nd T?hree Sitar Pieces? by trained instrumentalist? Pandit Kanwar Sain Trikha,? both originally released on Vic Keary’s underground label, ?Mushroom Records,? in the early 70s.
While Vic Keary’s background was in reggae, ?Mushroom Records ?dabbled in recording a bit of everything. Mostly known for hyper-rare Psych, Prog and Acid Folk, ?Nitai Dasgupta and P?andit Kanwar Sain Trikha?’s diverse LPs fit in perfectly with their British Psych and Prog label mates like ?Simon Finn,? M?agic Carpet,? and? Chillum?.
Nitai Dasgupta was one of the most talented Indian classical singers in Great Britain. His sweetness and flexibility created a unique style complemented by his melodious voice and composing abilities. ?Songs Of India p?leases the lovers of Indian classical and semi-classical music while enticing pop and folk lovers. This LP even caught the ears of acclaimed electronic artist, ?Four Tet,? who featured track “Cham Cham Cham Cham” on his? N?TS Radio show?.
I inherited the Nital Dasgupta LP from my grandfather. I’ve no idea how he came to have it and after he died it sat on a shelf for many years before I found it and gave it a listen.? – ?Kieran Hebden aka Four Tet
Both LPs are fascinatingly diverse pieces of work that dive into the intersection of folk, classical, and psychedelic music.
