Bollywood Bloodbath

This is just too awesome not to devote a little time to it. Finders Keepers manages to find some of the hippest, weirdest, and funkiest jams from all over the globe, from Turkish psychedelia to French pop to Czech film scores. The latest mix is a collection of B-movie horror soundtracks from India's Bollywood film industry. It's absolutely everything you would want it to be, a crazy mix of prog, folk, psych, funk, electro and Bollywood madness. Here's a blurb from the label:

"You've heard Italy’s most famous composers when they soundtrack unwatchable Roman slasher flicks with on their own uncompromised and underpaid terms? Well that blueprint just turned blood red with sub-shoestring, low-budget studio wizards gambling with rigamortis rock, disjointed disco and low-voltage electronics for seldom screened scenes of desi Draculas, lycanthropic lady killers and psyched-up swamp monsters. Ever wondered what the DJ would play in a 1981 luxury hotel that was built on an ancient Christian cemetery? No? Well it sounds like someone just got possessed by Jimmy Page and Nile Rogers at the same time. Help!"

Perfect. Get it here and listen to Hemant Bhole's "Sansani Khez Koi Baat" below.
