| | Description: | â?˘ A 34-track Expanded Deluxe 2CD version of Monsoonâ??s ground breaking â??Third Eyeâ?? album that was originally released in 1982. â?˘ Featuring the original 10-track album plus a comprehensive selection of bonus tracks including B-Sides, remixes, edits and instrumental versions. â?˘ Also included are six previously unreleased tracks including the four songs that the band recorded for a Capital Radio Session in 1982. â?˘ With a fully illustrated 32-page CD booklet featuring a brand new Q&A with Sheila Chandra. Monsoon led by singer Sheila Chandra (best known for her role in the BBCâ??S Grange Hill) 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. Additionally, they drew on the best musicians they could find from both East and West. 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 recorded for Hansa Records when she was 14. Sheila joined Monsoon in March 1981, three months before she left school. Monsoonâ??s first EP â??Ever So Lonelyâ??/â??Sunset Over The Ganges/Mirror of Your Mind/Shout till Youâ??re Heardâ?? had been distributed by Rough Trade. Their fresh Asian Fusion sound attracted the attention of label owner David Claridge, and Phonogram A&R man Dave Bates who signed the outfit to the Mobile Suit Corporation (Phonogram). In December 1981, the band re-arranged and re-recorded â??Ever So Lonelyâ?? at Rockfield Studios with co-producer Hugh Jones, released by Mobile Suit Corporation (Phonogram) in 1982 and, though surrounded by synth-pop singles, and predating the term â??World Musicâ?? by a full five years, was a smash hit around the world, reaching No.12 in the UK singles chart. Two further singles followed; â??Shakti (The Meaning Of Within)â?? and a cover of The Beatlesâ?? â??Tomorrow Never Knowsâ?? along with the debut album â??Third Eyeâ?? but due to differences with their label, Phonogram, Monsoon dissolved later in 1982. With the full involvement and co-operation of lead singer Sheila Chandra, Cherry Red are delighted to re-issue this expanded deluxe 2CD edition of the Third Eye album by the band that opened up the UKâ??s cultural consciousness to new possibilities â?? and changed it forever. - Expanded Deluxe two CD version of Monsoon's ground breaking Third Eye album, originally released in 1982.
