Various - Doob Doob O' Rama: Filmsongs from Bollywood (@256)












After the triumphant soundtrack of Slumdog Millionaire, A. R. Rahman stands next to R. D. Burman as the most important composer of Bollywood. His addictive melodies that combine Indian elements and western pop, as well as the subscription of M.I.A. gained him three Academy Award nominations, one for Best Original Score and two for Best Original Song.

Today's upload (a release of Russ Meyer's QDK) compiles songs from the vast Bollywood discography. Seminal artists of the genre such as Mohammed Rafi, Asha Bhosle, Lata Mangeshkar and Kishore Kumar appear in this overly representative compilation, often accused for its lack of information (films/ years of release) and for the low recording quality of some of the songs.
