The Ravi Shankar Project

Private Music (US) 1987

sleeve : EX(some wear on edge and corner.)
media : EX/EX(some slightly noise.)
A landmark 1987 release by Ravi Shankar, presented under The Ravi Shankar Project, in collaboration with former Tangerine Dream member and Private Music label founder Peter Baumann, and producer Frank Serafine. This ambitious album represents Shankar’s exploration of new sonic landscapes, blending traditional Indian instruments with modern electronic textures. Highlights include the pastoral-sounding synth melodies paired with danceable tabla rhythms on A3, and the world-dance groove of B3, where tabla, chorus, and sitar intertwine over a deep, rhythmically grounded bassline. Across the album, the fusion of sitar and synthesizer—old and new timbres—creates a captivating experience that appeals to both the mind and the body.
A3: Village Dance
A5: Friar Park
B3: West Eats Meat
