Monsoon Third Eye CD

Expanded Deluxe two CD version of Monsoon's ground breaking Third Eye album, originally released in 1982. Featuring the original 10-track album plus a comprehensive selection of bonus tracks including B-Sides, remixes, edits and instrumental versions. Also included are six previously unreleased tracks including the four songs that the band recorded for a Capital Radio Session in 1982. With a fully illustrated 32-page CD booklet featuring a brand new Q&A with Sheila Chandra. Monsoon led by singer Sheila Chandra along with record producer Steve Coe and bass guitarist Martin Smith was a brave and pioneering pop trio that blended traditional music from the Indian sub-continent with 80s British pop. The band originated in 1980 when keyboard player and producer Steve Coe developed an interest in Indian music. Hoping to form a band to pursue this direction, he discovered Sheila via some demo tapes which she had forwarded to Hansa Records when she was 14. Sheila joined Monsoon in March 1981. The Eastern music basis was reinforced by Dari Mankoo with his mastery of sitar and tabla which perfectly complimented guitarist Martin Smith. The textured combination attracted the attention of David Claridge, who signed the outfit to his Mobile Suit Corporation. With the full involvement and co-operation of lead singer Sheila Chandra, Cherry Red are delighted to re-issue this expanded deluxe edition of the Third Eye album by the band that opened up the UK's cultural consciousness to new possibilities - and changed it forever.
