Hello. This is a fan page for Charanjit Singh. I have a recording of the second side of his album, "Ten Ragas To a Disco Beat." It is my ideal music. I know nothing about him. This album was made in 1983 perhaps.

Here, download Charanjit_Singh_-_2-1-Meghmalhar.mp3 and enjoy this fine noodling sound.

The music is nuanced while repetitive, electronic but warm, full. It seeks and it fills. It is perfect to work to but you can lose your mind within it. It is powerful and gentle. Ten Ragas to a Disco Beat is my best album to hear now, Fall of 2002.

Until recently it wasn’t much more than some rumours on the web: a 1982 released LP called TEN RAGAS TO A DISCO BEAT containing Kraftwerk-like acid house music, years before the genre was invented.

So it turns out, the record was no rumour. Only a few hundred copies of the LP were ever pressed, and only a handful seem to have survived. Moreover, the LP outdoes all expectations. Performed on the synths that would later define Acid House, the Roland TB-303 and TR-808, the album sounds light years ahead of its time with its repetitive beats and hypnotic electronic melodies. Its maker, Bollywood session musician Charanjit Singh, set out to translate ancient Indian classical Ragas to the modern synthesizer and in doing so seems to have invented House music along the way. The 10 tracks make a consistent listen from A to Z. Its restrained minimalism and lack of cheesiness makes it incredibly contemporary, sounding animated, fluid and unabashedly alive.

how so?

Because it sounds too good to be true! However, I bow to the documentary evidence revealed above but it still wouldn't surprise me if it was Ceephax Acid Crew or someone like that.
