Various - A Strange Light From The East: Eastern Influenced Western Music 1965-72 (CD)

Sealed. Three CD set. 

1965-1972 period saw Western music transformed through the integration of Eastern music and philosophy and raga influences. Iconic tracks by The Byrds, The Yardbirds, and The Paul Butterfield Blues Band pioneered the fusion of modal jazz, Indian classical music, and psychedelic rock. These experiments laid the foundations for progressive rock, proto-punk, and world music, permanently altering the technical and creative landscape of modern music. The dawn of the British folk revival broke in 1965 when Bert Jansch's "folk-baroque" finger style revolutionized tradition, providing the early morning light for a burgeoning psychedelic scene which, by 1972 had traveled from folk clubs to the high-concept landscapes of progressive rock, exemplified by the Eastern-tinged sitar-guitar on Yes's 'Siberian Khatru'. Western artists utilized Eastern forms as a new musical bedrock. The influence even reached into the shadows, as The Stooges traded garage-rock for the ritualistic intensity of 'We Will Fall'. From the "space-age" pop of The Riot Squad to the "Indo-Afro" experiments of The 40 Watt Banana, this era of cross-pollination forever altered the horizons of Western musicians.
