@metacosm What I find mind blowing with 10 ragas to a disco beat -- which started as basically exactly what it says on the tin -- is that it when it came out in 1982 in Mumbay it was a fully-formed and entirely independent creation of what would be born again five years later on the other side of the planet in Chicago, to be called acid house and gain worldwide popularity.
That the same distinctive sound could be independently invented on two separate occasions, from such a different set of influences and inspirations is completely wild to me!
Also, a key difference with the Moog Cookbook, is that it wasn't nostalgia fueled or tongue-in-cheek: it was as earnest as it was prescient:
"There was lots of disco music in films back in 1982. So I thought why not do something different using disco music only. I got an idea to play all the Indian ragas and give the beat a disco beat – and turn off the tabla. And I did it. And it turned out good."
