Seek for Preemi, Alaap; they are good. I don't know more good bands.
Alaap's two latest albums features both an Indian film music
singer; Asha Boshle and <?> in this (time) order.

Here is the list of addresses; verify if they are correct ones.

        There has been some requests for Indian music CDs in SCI.
        So I am posting an updated list of mail order sources.
 
        A few Indian stores, especially in the big cities have begun
        to carry some Indian Music CDs.  These range $16-$20 per CD.
 
 
        Indian Music CD Mail order sources:
 
        Private Music
        220 East 23rd Street
        New York, NY 10010
        (212)-684-2533
        Ask for their catalog.  They have a few Indian music
        selections.  Classical and experimental.
 
 
        Oriental Records, Inc.,
        PO Box 1802,
        Grand Central Station,
        New York, NY 10017

        Ask for their catalog.  They have some very interesting
        Indian music selections.  Especially Carnatic music.
        I have also got LPs from them.  CDs cost $16 plus shipping.

        Berkeley, CA 94704
        (415)-548-6220 or 6221
        CDs from India.  Sometimes they send photocopies of the CD 
        cover notes which are very helpful in selecting the CDs you 
        want.  Prices depend on the label.  Range from $16-$18.  
        No volume discounts.  $2.50 shipping per order, regardless 
        of the number of CDs you buy.  Seem to have one of the 
        biggest selection.  Also sell cassette tapes.

        Get their catalog--it lists about five hundred titles, both 
        classical and film songs.  Only CDs.  Prices are not cheap 
        (16.85/cd if order < 5, 16.40/cd if more than 5, $15.95
        for 11 or more.  $2.50 for S/H (on entire order).
 
 
        Atlantic Video

        Dallas, TX  75243
        Prices range from $11 up, depending on brand.  Selection limited
        as compared to Shrimati's and Asmara.
 
        Also check out Tower Records in NY or Washington DC.  As well as
        J&R Music in NY City.  They carry some Indian music in their 
        international section.  This is music recorded outside India 
        and there are some good classical selections.  
 
        Also see the overview of Indian and Middle Eastern music in the
        current (or at least recent) issue of CD Review.  It lists several
        labels that carry Indian discs.
 
        ENJOY!!!
