1	Breathing Under Water (2007) more music like this by Anoushka Shankar and Karsh Kale Breathing Under Water is a different animal altogether. The pair co-wrote eight of the 13 cuts together. Another, "Easy," was co-written with Norah Jones -- Anoushka Shankar's half sister -- and sung by her. Ravi wrote a two-part tune with his daughter and appears on the album as well. The other big name guest is Sting (it's a payback for Shankar ... see all copies from $8.34! new only from $8.34!
2	The Darjeeling Limited (2007) more music like this by Original Soundtrack For fans of director Wes Anderson, a new movie from the bespectacled auteur means the materialization of a quirky new soundtrack as well. While 1999's British Invasion-heavy audio companion to Rushmore remains the unofficial fan fave, each collection of music (Bottle Rocket, The Royal Tenenbaums, and The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou) has been a ... see all copies from $16.81! new only from $16.81!
3	Roots and Wings (1990) more music like this by Sheila Chandra Her newest album is the product of her five-year hiatus, during which time she continued to refine her vocal techniques. In many respects Roots and Wings represents the quintessence of Sheila Chandra's music, stripped down to its essential core. The instrumentation is greatly simplified. Gone are the piano, sitar, and the synthesizers, hitherto ... see all copies from $2.30! new only from $14.78!
4	Wanderlust (2007) more music like this by Kiran Ahluwalia Here's something decidedly different, and quite enchanting. The second album from the Canadian-Indian singer revolves around the romantic ghazal form, but takes it to unimagined places, adding electric guitar to the mix at several points, and also, on three tracks, mashing up fado and ghazal quite beautifully. That seems an unlikely alliance, but ... see all copies from $7.07! new only from $14.78!
5	Brink (2001) more music like this by Dave Stringer The ever-growing genre that finds classical Indian instrumentation and hymns being used by Western musicians can basically be traced back to the Beatles' 1968 trip to India. Fast-forward 30 years and you find that artists like Krishna Das broke further ground by making kirtan or chanting music popular amongst the minor masses of hatha yoga ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $14.95!
6	Quiet (1984) more music like this by Sheila Chandra This was truly the album where Chandra broke away from the pop structures underlying much of Monsoon's work. As Chandra began to write much of her material (in collaboration with Martin Smith and producer Steve Coe), the dance rhythms of her debut were virtually eliminated, although the emphasis on Indian instrumentation remained intact. The music ... see all copies from $14.78! new only from $14.78!
7	Salt Rain (2001) more music like this by Susheela Raman Opening Salt Rain is an invocation to the Hindu deity Lord Ganesh, remover of obstacles. In the Indian tradition, it's always a good idea to get Ganesh's blessings at the beginning of any new venture. Susheela Raman may toss in bass, drums, and other Western flourishes, but she also knows when to stick with the tried and true practices of her ... see all copies from $2.90! new only from $6.99!
8	Hold the Rain (2007) more music like this by Pura Fe see all copies from $9.28! new only from $9.28!
9	Traditional Music of India (1995) more music like this by Ustad Ali Akbar Khan Along with Ravi Shankar, Ali Akbar Khan stands out as a musician whose work caused America and the West to pay attention to Indian classical in the 1960s. This disc combines two albums from 1965: Traditional Music of India and The Soul of Indian Music, both originally on Prestige. The re-release offers Michael Gold's informative and occasionally ... see all copies from $10.35! new only from $10.35!
10	Weaving My Ancestors' Voices (1992) more music like this by Sheila Chandra Although Chandra had been recording for over a decade when Weaving My Ancestors' Voices was released, this may be the album where she truly found her creative voice. Most vestiges of the pop/dance/rock rhythms of Monsoon, and some of her early albums, are absent. Chandra is now a virtuoso of the voice, offering almost avant-garde presentations of ... see all copies from $7.40! new only from $25.00!

12 view cover	Boogie for Hanuman (1997) more music like this by Antigravity Most fusions of Indian music and jazz have served merely to add Asian accents to pieces that are distinctly Western. Often they have even been timid as jazz, aiming at pretty and soft moods that are as authentic as 1950s albums of Hawaiian music with a full orchestra. Most have employed Indian instruments playing in European time signatures rather ... see all copies from $9.34! new only from $9.34!
13 view cover	Divine Bliss (1997) more music like this by Shri Anandi Ma A relative newcomer to the Indian tradition of the singer saint, Shri Anandi Ma studied under Shri Dhyanyogiji and composed a huge number of spiritual songs while at a rural temple near Bombay. This album has eight of such songs. The sound is at times vaguely similar to qawwal, with accompaniment from harmonium and bells that mimic the handclaps ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $8.00!

16 view cover	The Rough Guide to Asha Bhosle (2003) more music like this by Asha Bhosle From perhaps the most prolifically recorded artist in worldwide history comes the Rough Guide installment devoted to Asha Bhosle. Bhosle has some 20,000 recordings to her name, making a compilation of 16 a nearly impossible. This compilation was culled from her full archives, with the help of Bhosle herself, as well as her son, so the songs work ... see all copies from $13.16! new only from $13.16!
17 view cover	Ghazal: Lost Songs of the Silk Road (1997) more music like this by Ghazal A fascinating meeting of Persian and Indian musical and cultural influences. Iranian musician Kayhan Kalhor, North Indian virtuoso Shujaat Hussain Khan, and Swapan Chaudhuri playing the kamancheh (spike fiddle), sitar, and tabla, respectively, met in New York for the sessions that led to this album, a melding of related but separate musical ... see all copies from $15.65! new only from $15.65!
18 view cover	Bhangra Bloody Bhangra: A Tribute to Black Sabbath (2002) more music like this by Opium Jukebox see all copies from $8.65! new only from $8.65!
19 view cover	Devotion: Religious Chants from India (2006) more music like this by Various Artists An intriguing concept, this album contains a devotional chant or two from each of six or so religious sects within India. Hinduism is represented with a pair of chants from Rattan Mohan Sharma, Jainism is represented by its holiest chant, and Sikhism with a nice khyal from the Singh brothers. Islam, and more specifically Sufism, is represented by ... see all copies from $16.39! new only from $16.39!
20 view cover	Voyager Series: India - Festival Instruments (2007) more music like this by Various Artists Traditionally sounded during wedding feasts and nocturnal temple celebrations throughout southern India, the double reed nagasvaram is a cousin to the shehnai and the oboe; all are members of the strikingly diverse and wide-ranging Eurasian shawm family. As naga is the ancient Sanskrit word for serpent, this instrument is sometimes casually ... see all copies from $6.82! new only from $6.82!
21 view cover	Garden of Dreams (1993) more music like this by Ali Akbar Khan Maestro Ali Akbar Khan and a thirteen-piece East/West orchestra follow up his critically acclaimed Journey, performing classical ragas and Rajasthani folk songs. Combining sarod with Western classical instruments such as the cello, violin, bassoon and oboe, Khansahb brilliantly merges Eastern and Western musical traditions to produce an album of ... see all copies from $9.89! new only from $9.89!
22 view cover	Palm World Voices: Vedic Path [CD & DVD] (2005) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $36.13! new only from $36.13!
23 view cover	Saradanabu (1996) more music like this by Vishwa Mohan Bhatt V.M. Bhatt is the younger brother of sitar virtuoso Shashi Mohan Bhatt, who was one of Ravi Shankar's first pupils, and he, his sister, and cousin all went on to study with legendary master. But despite a lifetime steeped in Indian classical music traditions, Bhatt is best known for his fusionary pan-cultural collaborations with Western artists ... see all copies from $14.29! new only from $14.29!
24 view cover	Tabla Tarang: Melody on Drums (1996) more music like this by Kamalesh Maitra As volume ten of their World's Musical Traditions set, Smithsonian Folkways released an album featuring Kamalesh Maitra, the last pandit (master) of the tabla tarang, a set of ten to 16 tabla drums (Maitra uses around 11 on this recording), each tuned to a different note, and without the bayan bass drum. The word tarang translates to "waves," ... see all copies from $19.35! new only from $19.35!
25 view cover	Signature Series, Vol. 2: Three Ragas (1990) more music like this by Ustad Ali Akbar Khan The Signature Series is a reissue program of Ali Akbar Khan's Connoisseur works, remastered and repackaged with historically updated notes. Khan is accompanied by Mahapurush Misra on tabla, one of his most spirited collaborators. The exemplary recording blends "Medhavi," "Khammaj," and "Bhairavi Bhatiyar." They are performances to return to again ... see all copies from $16.37! new only from $16.37!
