Ravi Shankar "The Sounds of India" (1968)
This is pretty great. It's not something that you can necessarily put on and hum
along to (you could maybe hum some random countermelody to complement the
sitar noodlings) but a great bit of music that you can let
sit in the background while you do other stuff, or focus on the music
and get lost in the awesome musicianship and the kaleidoscoping runs of
notes.
There is a bit of instructional dialogue on the methods and forms
of raga, so it's kind of 'infotainment'.
