Charanjit Singh : Synthesizing – Ten Ragas to a Disco Beat

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 its time. Recorded live at Mumbai’s HMV studios, Singh married the past to the future – blending the ancient Indian tradition of ragas as a melodic framework 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…

Newly remastered official reissue released in cooperation with Charanjit Singh’s Estate with the original artwork in expanded gatefold sleeve. Includes a booklet feat. unseen photos and liner notes.
