## Description

For the last 15 years, Bombay Connection has specialized in unearthing rare and funky Bollywood vinyl of the 60s, 70s and 80s, becoming the leading expert in the field. Notwithstanding the contemporary interest in Bollywood grooves, the majority of the style s funky nuggets are still uncovered. Label founder Edo Bouman is dedicated to issuing a series of Bollywood s most funky, infectious and fascinating grooves, digging up not only the best and rarest sounds, but has also a gathering together a wealth of information and unique picture material. Previous collections The Bombay Connection , Bombshell Baby Of Bombay , and Charanjit Singh s Ten Ragas To A Disco Beat all gained gained much acclaim among DJs, collectors, connoisseurs and critics alike, and now this anthology of soundtrack music by Ilaiyaraaja is set to continue the Bombay Connection legacy. Indian film music invariably manages to take you by surprise, time and time again. Hard electro-funk and sweet synth-pop are not genres you would expect from India. Yet, in the late 80s electronic beats and synths were eagerly embraced by the film industry of South India along with kung fu fights, aerobics, sunglasses and jogging outfits. The rich and funky Tamil grooves of the early 80s transformed into stripped electronic synthesizer music. Prolific composer Ilaiyaraaja, known as The Maestro , used minimal beats and synthetic arrangements to create an addictive and captivating electro synth pop sound. His experimental mind, unfailing pop instinct and advanced harmonics make the songs a feast for the ears that will grow with every listen. The limited double LP version comes in a heavy mounted cardboard sleeve with printed inner sleeves containing information on the featured films. CD includes a 30 page booklet with the same written info and additional photography.

Review: ilaiyaraaja is the ennio morricone of bollywood - i thought this would just be fun, unusual music. but ilaiyaraaja is clearly a genius composer and the way he puts together traditional bollywood instrumentation with synths and drum machines is mind blowing.
Review: Five Stars - Excellent Compilation. Great quality!!

Excellent Compilation. Great quality!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Maestro Ilaiyaraaja at his best
*by V***N on October 11, 2012*

This is one of Maestro Ilaiyaraaja's (Indian Composer) best assorted soundtrack. You can hear clearly how Maestro traverses genres in every composition with ease keeping the soul and nativity intact. This is always the highlight of any Maestro's composition. Added advantage of this soundtrack is it is well remastered by 'Bombay Connnection' company. Their hard work really pays as we can hear crystal clear sounds which we would have missed hearing even in the master vinyl/CD/tape. Could not believe these songs were recorded in 80s, such is the clarity. Highly recommended to listen in good headphones and big systems to hear the true power of Maestro. A must buy for every music fan.
