Bombay the Hard Way: Guns, Cars and Sitars
Bombay the Hard Way: Guns, Cars and Sitars is a 1998 project of producer Dan the Automator in which music from 1970s funk Bollywood composer duo Kalyanji-Anandji (Kalyanji Virji Shah and Anandji Virji Shah) was remixed. The album is also heavily credited to American producer DJ Shadow, but it is stated on his website: "The marketing campaign for this Dan the Automator remix project implied massive DJ Shadow involvement, which was far from the case; Shadow played drums for 30 minutes one day in the studio, elements of which were resampled  and applied to various tracks. Shadow was dismayed by the record company's blatant exploitation of his name, and distanced himself from the project." A sequel album titled "" was released in 2001, focusing on '80s Bollywood music. Critical reception. AllMusic wrote: "This is truly groovy, funky, tripped-out music from the movie capitol of the world, and showcases how the Americans and the Italians may have invented the noir and cheap thrill movie soundtrack, but the Indians took it to a whole different level."
