Ten Ragas was actually before all the acid house if I'm not mistaken. The guy did a European (or maybe even World) tour a few years ago and I saw him play in a small bar.

He appeared quite unenthusiastic, just replaying the kind of stuff he made way back then and probably had a hard time understanding why people found it so incredible. Apart from several 303s he also had a very expensive Jupiter that he was touring with.

Sadly he passed away shortly after the tour.

Yes he was, by about 3 years. The amazing thing is that nobody in the West or even in the Goa party scene of late 80s/early 90s seems to have heard this stuff until it was re-released a few years ago, at least to my knowledge. https://www.discogs.com/Charanjit-Singh-Synthesizing-Ten-Rag...

I did hear about the tour and that exact response, clearly this stuff was in the distant past for him.

It makes wonder who else got their hands on a 303 in the early 80s elsewhere in the world. We keep digging out great African and Middle-eastern records, there may be more to the Acid story.
