The opening track of Charanjit Singh's 1982 album Synthesizing: Ten Ragas To A Disco Beat, recorded in Bombay. It plays Indian raga forms on a Roland Jupiter-8, TB-303 and TR-808 over a disco beat.
HN points to it as an early acid-style record that came before Chicago acid house, and as a way into ragas for electronic music fans.
