Indian music has become a global musical language but its South Asian roots remain strong, diverse and local. As with our introductory anthology of this kind (Psych Funk 101 - WPFC 101) this anthology covers the "golden years" of the movement, from approximately 1970 until 1983. Much of the music on this compilation springs from the Bollywood film industry; composers such as R.D. Burman and the brothers known as Kalyanji Anandji, whose work makes up much of this anthology, recorded and released an inordinate amount of soundtracks. That experiments in the fusion of India's classical traditions of Hindustani and Carnatic music, folk music such as bhangra and dandiya and Western psychedelia and funk music would occur at some point is only natural. Also included are off the beaten path Indian experiments in Psych Funk - for example, two songs from the Simla Beat garage-psych albums, and an oft-heard Deep Purple cover by the ground-breaking Atomic Forest - and examples of the Indian Psych Funk influence on European 70s musicians. Throughout the extensive liner notes, WPFC attempts to broaden the definition of global psychedelia: the early researchers who first coarsely defined the genre - and limited its subgenres - did so at the same time that these experiments were first issued. That they would obscure these contributions to the global psychedelic canon is understandable. But it is time to correct this oversight.

Ironisch als »Seminar für Studenten des globalen Psychedelic-Funk-Phänomens« bezeichnet, klingt diese Zusammenstellung alles andere als akademisch oder gar verkopft – lernen kann man trotzdem einiges! Zum Beispiel dass die goldenen Jahre des indischen Psych Funk vor allem durch die Filmindustrie Bollywoods geprägt waren. Ähnlich wie auf den Doop Doop O’Rama-Samplern sind auch hier viele Soundtrack-Beiträge versammelt. Anstatt aber vorrangig auf die bloße Exotik greller Frauenstimmen, südostasiatischer Harmonien und Melodien zu setzen, zeigen die 20 Lieder eher die mannigfaltigen Blüten der Fusion von westlichem Funk und indischer Musiktradition. Plakative Cover-Hits etwa von The Savages fehlen, man setzt vielmehr auf ausgefallenes, Fuzzgitarren-getränktes Liedgut. Sogar der Bogen zurück nach Europa wird mit Klaus Doldingers Sitar Beat gespannt und somit der Beweis geführt, dass schon in den 1970er Jahren globalisierte Musikexperimente verbreitet waren: schwarzafrikanische Musikwurzeln wandeln sich in Nordamerika zum Funk, der dann im fernen Indien neu interpretiert wird, worauf wiederum europäische Jazzer aufbauen, die dann usw. usf. Bei so wilden künstlerischen Befruchtungen braucht es tatsächlich ein solches »Seminar«, um den Überblick nicht zu verlieren.
