Rahul Dev Burman: Zehreela Insaan (1974) 16 Aug 2013 | 04:40 pm
Rahul Dev Burman, mid 70s, great looking luridly coloured cover art; you know that can't be bad. And yet, 'Zehreela Insaan' is a soundtrack I'm finding harder than usual to get excited over. Something...
Bappi Lahiri: Karate (1983) 26 Jun 2013 | 01:05 am
More martial arts. Bappi Lahiri is all over the place on 'Karate', making use of every trick in the book, every cliché found on a disco dancefloor. But guess what? It works. Sort of. Super funky bass ...
Bappi Lahiri: Morchha (1980) 4 Jun 2013 | 03:17 pm
There's a martial arts theme running through the next few posts, starting with the soundtrack for 1980's 'Morchha'. I've no idea what the film is about; the scarcity of mentions and shortage of video ...
Kalyanji Anandji: Kashish (1980) 24 May 2013 | 12:30 pm
Here's an early 80s Kalyanji Anandji score featuring a couple of really good songs. The poppy, sitar-driven 'Sathiya Re' is almost a cousin to 'Apradh's 'Ae Naujawan Hai Sub Kuchh Yahan'; possibly not...
Shankar Jaikishan feat. Rais Khan: Raga Jazz Style (1968) 17 May 2013 | 01:27 am
'Raga Jazz Style' isn't a soundtrack. However it's a Shankar Jaikishan album, featuring a host of top jazz musicians with long track records in Bollywood; Manohari Singh, Leslie Godinho, Sebastian D'S...
Shankar Jaikishan: Patita (1953) 22 Jan 2013 | 05:37 pm
You know when you hear a song, or a part of a song and you're certain you've heard it before somewhere? That obviously happens a lot with Bollywood music, but the sense of familiarity I got when first...
Sachin Dev Burman: Pyaasa (1957) / Hemant Kumar: Anupama (1967) 15 Jan 2013 | 04:46 pm
The score for 'Pyaasa' [review] [2] seems to be widely regarded as one of Sachin Dev Burman's finest. And while I admittedly am not his biggest fan, and my knowledge of his work is somewhat limited, I...
Sacred Sounds 7 Jan 2013 | 03:23 pm
This is what it sounds like when tracks from Bollywood soundtracks posted over the years on Music From The Third Floor get reworked by hip-hop producer Lion, The Uncommon Samurai, aka JUST Muziq. Fan...
Vijaysingh: Khoon Khoon (1973) / Sonik Omi: Wohi Raat Wohi Awaz (1972) 26 Oct 2012 | 12:00 pm
If you, of rational mind, were to think it absurd to remake 'Dirty Harry' as a film laced with song & dance numbers, well then welcome to Bollywood. Because that's exactly what 'Khoon Khoon' [review] ...
Music From The Third Floor: Vol. 8 22 Oct 2012 | 04:24 pm
When I pensioned off, sort of, this blog two years ago, I never thought I'd be doing another sampler. And yet here we are, with a new specially compiled mix of fabulous Bollywood tunes from posts past...
