The one hundred third album: #103 Shivkumar Sharma - Call of the Valley
Following on with weirder genres, this feels like one of the more unexpected entries on the list. We have, of course, covered a lot of classical music for the other list, and I believe this one generally avoids it. Call of the Valley, however, is a light classical album of Indian music, likely to have inspired many western artists.And it's different from both categories, taking what seems like a more minimalist approach. You get simpler music in other places too, but here it's especially sparse, in a way that made me appreciate each individual instrument more. The album is relaxing and enchanting in a way that stands out in this era and makes me want to investigate the genre a bit more, to at least get a few more samples of it.
