Predating the Chicago acid house movement by several years, this project utilizes a Roland TB-303, TR-808, and Jupiter-8 to reinterpret traditional Indian ragas into club-ready forms. Originally a commercial failure, 'Synthesizing: Ten Ragas to a Disco Beat' was rediscovered decades later and rightfully hailed as an accidental, visionary milestone in electronic dance music history.
