Is this how "The Orange Blossom Special" is done on the other side of the globe? |

A certain DJ and station owner is in a very percussive mood tonight. Cut after cut big time on the tablas congas. Let it rip, Bill, but the volume does threaten to destroy my desk top speakers!

I love classic Indian music... But this makes me very nervous!
Try for instance to listen (or play) Ustad Vilayat Khan or Ravi Shankar.

I can totally understand not everyone 'getting it' but it certainly has a place here on RP to let people hear something they would normally never listen to. Agreed, Usually people get slammed for not 'getting' The Grateful Dead or some such untouchable, but this piece demonstrates more expertise than most can apprehend. Not being elitist, just applauding your note. |

I tried really hard to like this but came up short. There are parts that are pretty neat, but there isn't enough neat to overpower the yuck.

I know it's good for me. Broadens my horizons. Grinning and bearing. Just barely, but hanging in there.  |

I agree! I certainly "get it" but don't want "it" most of the time. I can appreciate this music, but in many mixes here on RP I find this kinda stuff distracting and annoying. |
