"Like Buddha" is my least favorite simile
Haruomi Hosono & Tadanori Yokoo - Hum Ghar Sajan (from Cochin Moon)
Everything must be on the internet now, as Jaime said, because I was finally able to find this album, Cochin Moon, that I've been searching for longer than I care to remember. The story behind this LP, as I understand it, was that Hosono took a trip to India and came back so inspired that he wrote the soundtrack to a non-existent Bollywood movie. This track in particular is a good example of Hosono's meshing of his own weird sounds with classic Indian pop song features, e.g. this is very much like something you'd hear in a movie like Dil Se or Lagaan (maybe not) re-recorded by Black Dice circa their Miles of Smiles EP. More on this later.
