Tana Mana (1987)

"Tana Mana is an album by Indian musician Ravi Shankar, originally credited to "the Ravi Shankar Project" and released in 1987. The album is an experimental work by Shankar, mixing traditional instrumentation with 1980s electronic music and sampling technology. Shankar recorded much of Tana Mana in 1983 with sound effects innovator Frank Serafine, but it remained unreleased until Peter Baumann, head of new age record label Private Music, became attached to the project. The album title translates to mean "body and mind". In addition to his familiar instrument, the sitar, Shankar plays synthesizer extensively on the recording. The album also includes contributions from Lakshmi Shankar, Aashish Khan and Kumar Bose, and Western musicians such as George Harrison, Al Kooper and Ray Cooper." (Wikipedia)
