I've shared Sheila Chandra several times before here. This one was originally released as Third Eye by Monsoon in 1983. This is the North American 1995 reissue CD with alternate versions of several tracks (the longer 12" version of "Shakti" & a slightly different "Watchers") & six additional tracks. It is credited as Monsoon featuring Sheila Chandra. Monsoon was a world music trio consisting of Chandra, her husband Steve Coe, & Martin Smith.
Note of interest to followers of this blog, Bill Nelson plays E-Bow & electric guitar.

Howdy NØ, I'm in Marseille again and I'll wait until I'm home again to download it, but I wanted to say thanks! What a great album in general, and this version in particular. I absolutely love her voice and music.Thanks for sharing it with us!
ReplyDeleteExcellent. Say hello to the boy. Have a great time. Wish I was there.
DeleteUsually, anything described as 'world music' would have me running for the hills. 'Coffee table' music. 'Sunday supplement' music. But you had me at "Bill Nelson plays E-Bow & electric guitar." I'm in!
ReplyDeleteDon't know if you checked out any of the earlier Chandra shares, but she is well worth the time. Glad you're "in".
