Back in 1982, the band Monsoon, fronted by the young vocalist Sheila Chandra, made major musical waves (and developed a large cult following) with their brilliant blend of traditional Asian music, contemporary western rhythms and avant garde sounds. They coined the phrase 'Indipop" to describe their sound. This compilation contains their complete album Third Eye, plus the B-sides, special Hindi versions and 12" mixes released as singles in the UK. Instrumentation ranges from sitar, tabla, gamelan and gong to wasp, hurdy gurdy and fire extinguisher! Includes Shakti (The Meaning Of Within), Indian Princess, Third Eye and Tikka T.V. A true classic has returned for its first US release.
