Between 1965 and 1972, Western music underwent a remarkable transformation. Eastern philosophy, Indian classical music and raga influences began filtering into rock, jazz and folk - and nothing sounded quite the same again. A Strange Light From The East is a new 3CD box set tracing this pivotal moment in music history. Featuring landmark recordings by The Byrds, The Yardbirds, The Paul Butterfield Blues Band and many more, the collection explores how these groundbreaking experiments helped shape psychedelic rock, progressive music and the foundations of world music as we know it today. From modal jazz explorations to sitar-driven rock, this is a fascinating journey through one of modern music's most creative and boundary-pushing eras. Essential listening for anyone curious about where it all began.
