         Shankar also appears on PVC Records _World_of_Music_Arts_and_Dance_
double album, doing a song 'Himalaya' (which is simply beautiful). I am
not sure if P.Gabriel plays on the cut with him, although he is one of the
major contributors to the compilation.

         P.S.: This album is for you if you like any of these people:
Gabriel, David Byrne, Shankar, Ekome Dancers ('rhythm of the heat'),
Morris Pert, Vic Coppersmith-Heaven, Mighty Sparrow, Prince Nico Mbarga, etc.

(the Gabriel cut, 'Across the River', is worth the price of the album alone.)
