Bollywood doesn't have a horror genre so much as it sweeps elements of every style into it's colossal tornado and spits out a few wild, kook-packed thrillers as it spins. Nonetheless, here are the ghost stories, the spiderwebs of intrigue borrowed from Italian giallos, the chilling keyboard drum machines used to keep from having to pay off a roomful of studio musicians. Monster growls, Abbaesque disco nightclubs, stabs of arp synths in totally inappropriate places. Great composers like Burman & Bappi are well represented, but obscure B-level experiments are also given plenty of room- even heavy collectors will find plenty they don't own. The swirling, speedy electric drums (that nonetheless always imitate the tabla) never sit still for a second, and songs happily veer from cheery to tense to wtf and back again within half a phrase. A real rollercoaster, but definitely worth the extra effort to digest it.
