Coming with an inside colour cover (notes & detailed infos)

Artwork: MoolinexOur long lost and awaited Tamil soundtracks compilation is finally out!"Play That Beat Mr. Raja" is the very first compilation dedicated to Tamil recordings in the West. It explores the wild shores of these late 80's Kollywood music productions, with its avalanche of cinematic strings, analog synths, indian percussions, mind-blowing vocal punchlines and drumkits earthquakes, revealing the audacity of composers such as Ilayaraja, Shankar Ganesh or Hamsalekha.



Covering an impressive range of styles, it features Kamal Hassan's vocoded rap "Vikram Vikram", Shankar Ganesh's disco stomper "Coca Cola", or the irresistible bontempi instrumental "Love Theme", among many other hits. On the edge between a strong indian identity and digested western influences, these selected oddities may still appear as a lesson of creativity and freedom in the world of soundtracks, with their stunning incorporation of the most typical 80s tools in a classical or traditionnal context, and their constant love for demented structures and daring arrangements.> CART004 record to come early 2011
