The killingest. You know it is. Secret Chiefs 3 have gotten some mileage cover-song-wise out of this one — and that's mostly the "filler" material as far as this brilliant soundtrack goes. There's so much more left —the most popular songs, in fact — "One, Two Cha Cha Cha," for instance. We can relate to Mr. Naidu. You have to get the vinyl to get all the songs... the CD releases we've seen have maybe four or five songs, while the vinyl has nine (if memory serves). What's worse is that the movie is GREAT... we hadn't seen this until 2001, about 8 or 9 years after finding the record at the bottom of a stack of spice boxes. We just knew there was treasure buried there & so asked the store clerks to help us unstack the boxes. And there it was. Glistening, gleaming. It still smells like those spices. Well, years later we saw the movie and nearly crapped our pants. Why? First of all, it looks and feels like In Like Flynt in India (there are even some American actors). But what's frightful is that story-wise it's like a Bollywood version of the Grail story, only the "knights" are thieves. The "Grail," a RED STONE, is set upon a checkerboard floor with complex traps set all around it. Each of the "knights" tries to fool the other and attain the Stone... physical obstacles and traps interfere, sure, but the psychological pitfalls and desire-born self-deceptions prove even more formidable obstacles as our "heroes" become insanely obsessive about obtaining the wonderous Stone ("Mera Pyar Shalimar" - My Beloved Shalimar). Well, we now know why we covered THAT song on the Second Grand, and why that theme also established an inter-album continuity by being quoted briefly on Grail-themed Book M, on the "Blaze of the Grail" cover no less... so THAT's why we retitled the Shalimar main theme "Blaze of the Grail"... um, but wait... we didn't know any of this stuff until AFTER Book M was out [zzckcck - malfunction -zccckk]... anyway, five of you out there can chew on that little set of "coincidences" with us to no end. But what's of interest to a greater number is that there is TONS more music in the movie that's not on the soundtrack. Variations. Crazy stuff. Really REALLY unbelievable. This is definitely our favorite-ever Hindi Film soundtrack, and has obviously put us under some kind of spell or something. For twelve or so years now. Maybe it could do the same for you.
