Series 1 focuses exclusively on the musical output of CBS Gramophone Records \u0026amp; Tapes (India) Ltd. Active during India’s peak disco era – a time when synthesisers and drum machines became a mainstay in Indian popular music – CBS India became a home for established composers to be experimental, up-and-coming composers to get their start, B-movie soundtracks, and straight-to-VHS releases.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExpertly curated by Naya Beat co-founders Turbotito and Ragz, who were given unprecedented access to the original label archives, this compilation is not just a collection of four-to-the-floor Bollywood disco (although there are plenty of those). ‘Awaaz’ is\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003edesigned to take listeners on a musical journey that includes everything from leftfield electronic and mood music to outrageous proto house.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBe it classic and hard to find cuts like Ilaiyaraaja's \"Aye Zindagi Gale Lagaa Le\" and “Mere Jaisi Mehbooba” (Bappi Lahiri’s Hindi remake of Herbie Hancock's “Rockit”), or the instrumental mood music of Kirti Anuraag’s VHS movie soundtracks, to the proto house of Raamlaxman’s “Dil Gadbad Jhala” and Kalyanji-Anandji’s “Aage Bhi Dushman,” or the synth and guitar drenched breakdance madness of R. D. Burman’s “Dekho Idhar Jano Jigar,” the music on this compilation captures the output of a label that was unique as it was unconventional.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn homage to the genre, every detail in this stunning release has been lovingly crafted. From the laminate cover and incredible foldout to the collage design and typeface, there are countless authentic details and nods to Bollywood releases of the era. As much of the album has been made in India as is possible. The sleeves have been handmade in New Delhi. The liner notes have been compiled by music archivist Nishant Mittal (aka Digging In India). — (via \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/nayabeat.bandcamp.com\/album\/awaaz-series-1-original-soundtrack-recordings-from-the-archives-of-cbs-gramophone-tapes-india-1982-1986\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBandcamp\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2867032146\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Naya Beat Records – NAYA - 003LP\u003cbr\u003eFormat: 2x Vinyl, LP, Compilation, Stereo\u003cbr\u003eCountry: US\u003cbr\u003eReleased: Jun 16, 2023\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Electronic, Funk \/ Soul, Pop, Folk, World, \u0026amp; Country, Stage \u0026amp; Screen\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Disco, Bollywood, Soundtrack, Theme, Funk\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: Global Sounds\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Naya Beat Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43433557295262,"sku":"3760179357530","price":60.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/a1000682831_10.jpg?v=1712058704","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/products\/various-artists-awaaz-series-1-original-soundtrack-recordings-from-the-archives-of-cbs-gramophone-tapes-india-19821986","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
