Rupa Biswas' 1982 debut Disco Jazz has long been a favourite of dusty-fingered diggers with a healthy bank balance and a penchant for the quirky. All four tracks are cheery, charming and superior to many "Bollywood disco" records produced in the same period. The sunny disco-boogie of 'Moja Bhari Moja' is followed on side A by the delightfully eccentric, bass-powered AOR-disco/funk-rock fusion of "East West Shuffle" and the effortlessly Balearic cheeriness of 'Aaj Shanibar'. Best of all, though, is the exotic and intoxicating flipside cut 'Ayee Morshume Be-Reham Duniya' which expertly joins the dots between cosmic rock and Balearic disco grooves for 16 spellbinding minutes.
