Surprise surprise. This time the search for something entirely different landed on Ananda Shankar, a sitar slinger and Ravi Shankar's nephew. At first listen his cover of the Doors' "Light My Fire" seemed a little corny, not because it was a sitar playing a Doors cover, but because the accompanying synthesizer seemed to add a bit too much retro synth corn. Regardless, I bit. It turns out that it was not retro synth corn, but the real thing, retro synth pre-corn, Moog. 1970, pretty early too, which makes it amazing. Not really. Well, maybe.
