"MAGIC CARPET" sitar
RARE ...Original 1972 BRITISH first pressing of an obscure sitar dominated psychedelic album headed by Clean Alford, the sitarist from MAGIC CARPET ...
Clem Alford, who recorded this British underground album before he joined ranks with the legendary Magic Carpet, who released the acclaimed album of Eastern-influenced music a little later in the same year as this Sagram album. In fact the group was actually called Sargam. The budget label got the name wrong! Clem Alford was an excellent sitar player as you will hear on this groovy psychedelic feast of heady sound trips....Way back in the early seventies in London, three friends came together to play some unusual music: Sitarist Clem Alford, guitarist Jim Moyes and tabla player Keshav Sathe formed a unique Anglo/ Indian fusion, calling themselves Sargam (the name of a note in an Indian scale). Clem Alford was an excellent sitar player, who spent time in India to enhance his knowledge of Indian classical music. (The three friends recruited fem vocalist/guitarist Alisha Sufit and formed "Magic Carpet" who released an acclaimed album of Eastern-influenced music the same year). But as mentioned, a few months earlier, under the name Sargram they made this psychedelic sitar rock album, mispelt by the Windmill recording company and inappropriately entitled "Pop Explosion Sitar Style". "Pop Explosion Sitar Style" is a beautifully played and distinctive acoustic album that reflects many musical currents of the time. The complex rhythmic, sensitive tabla playing of virtuoso Keshav Sathe underpins all six tracks while Clem Alford weaves acid induced sitar webs to the forefront... collectors of '60s/early '70s are urged to check it out ... no bad or weak tracks at all and arguably more interesting than the Magic Carpet Lp ...
