Believe me, it is grooving!.......2005-08-26

I read the reviews before and thought something like "were they listening to the same album?". maybe its because james brown is too much funk for me, maybe the dieheart funk lovers won't like it but for anybody else whithout the james brown funk dogma burned in their heads- i think you'll like this a lot. It is nice for chillout sessions at the lake or in the park, for a sunday afternoon with friends, its for rather shaking your head than your hips. sure it takes parts and whole hooks you heard before but it is presented in in a less energized way. but it is grooving - a lot.

so to conclude it is more passive listening music than active dancing music but for the passive chill and groovie part it is perfect i think - you gotta see it as what it is - and not a as a plain james brown wannabe copy.

get it - groove with it!

Modern Funk Novelties.......2001-10-30

Although this is not as funky as it could be, it is still a descent groover. Ravi attempts to add sitar to some classic funky monsters (James Brown, The Meters) and does a nice job of doing so. I'm not sure it's fair to compare Ravi Harris and the Prophets to James Brown. This album is more a long the line some of the other funk novelties of late, "Bollywood Funk" and "Bombay the Hardway." If you dug those you'll probably like "Funky Sitar Man."

Waste of a good concept.......1999-09-11

I was NOT impressed with the album - it was no more than a collection of James Brown songs, but without the funk, without the creativity, and without the spirit. The songs were as stiff as if the musicians playing them were wearing suits made of wood.

Bad James Brown covers!.......2002-07-10

I love traditional indian music, also funk, and even obscure psychedelic indian/sitar fusion music. But this record can't decide what it wants to be. It's like a cheaply made James Brown cover album played on a sitar replacing the vocals. It's just not very creative. I expected more.
