This 30-track, 2CD compilation highlights Nigel Williamson’s long-standing love affair with Indian music. Indian music has long been popular in the west since the Beatles in the 60s and those on the hippie trail in the 70s adopted it and opened it up to the rest of the world. The western world continues to be fascinated by the spirituality and unique sound of Indian music and this compilation explores mainly the most popular style known as Indian Classical music. From the distinct sound of the sitar being plucked to the rhythmic crescendo from the Tablas, it’s easy to understand why this is regarded as music to take the listener on a path to spiritual enlightenment...
