All of the edits I've done (and frankly I can only speak to my own
philosophy on this) have been kind of personal. I wanted to do
Kraftwerk's Hall of Mirrors and re-vision it as a near tech-house

Yeah, I mean I don't really listen all these edits, but if 1 minute of
cheese ruins 5 minutes of genius, what's wrong with improving it? That
said, I personally don't have time for such shenanigans, there are so

If the original was good on its own terms, you don't improve it by
editing it. There's a bazillion 'disco edits' right now, and they
bother me because they take something with its own internal pace and
flow, and fit it to the procrustean bed of DJ expediency. And
usually, to fit the ADD no-soul m

After hearing all of this madness, buying the album, etc. I am
thinking of editing/remixing 4 of the ragas...I will post the results
if I do...I think there is something there for me...and I don't know

I should reword really. Commercial doesn't bother me at all. I can do

Nods, a lot of the UK Funky stuff sounds like this to me, my first track on a

A lot of Disco is 'naff and commercial' and still kicks butt. "Dr.
Love" for example.
I had a long discussion with Tom Cox about disco edits and he made a

Spot on Martin. Its all about cassettes and lofts, My sister has or at
least had loads of Bollywood soundtracks on cassettes. Some of the
disco based stuff was pretty good with real strings in retrospect.
Tho' at the time I thought it was a bit naff and commercial.

I got the digital version of this the other day. I find it really
enjoyable listening, both for it's proto-techno qualities, but also
because of its inherent musicality. The guy plays some absolutely
ripping raga solos on the synth, generally using a legato, liquid
sounding synth patch. That comb

There loads of soundtrack based rock and roll/funk/disco/rap in
Bollywood movies as it tends to follow Hollywood music and western
