Album Notes

There are two songs, each performed in the "sitar friendly" keys of C and C#. There are three mixes of each song. The first mix contains a complete sitar perfomance of the song. The second is a mix where the sitar only plays the vocal lines. The third mix is the best, it has no sitar at all! So the sitarist can now play along with a famous song and improvise as he or she wishes. "Scandinavian Furniture" is modeled after a famous Beatles song featuring the sitar. "Om for Sitar" is modeled after a famous Moody Blues song. The important feature of "Om for Sitar" is the middle solo section that accelerates the tempo from 60 to 120 beats per minute. Here the sitarist has the opportunity to play a solo similar to classical Indian music in form.
