Acid-House Innovator Charanjit Singh Has Died

Singh's classic 1982 LP: so mesmerizing, so ahead of its time.
Charanjit Singh, the Bollywood session guitarist and synthesist who recorded the first acid-house album in 1982, passed away in his Mumbai, India home on July 3. He was 74.Singh gained the attention of many in the West in 2010 when the Bombay Connection label reissued his classic Ten Ragas to a Disco Beat album, which predated the acid house coming out of Chicago by a few years. It's an amazing artifact that still sounds sui generis
