Reissue. Released in 1971 by Okko Bekker, a Dutch sitar player, keyboardist, and producer who has worked with the likes of Brian Eno, Conny Plank, Asmus Tietchens, and Moebius. As the title suggests this is a sitar and synthesizer led trip through six groovy and jazzy originals and two covers. Featuring help from the jazz legend Herb Geller on flute, Sitar & Electronics is a funky and rare piece of European exotica finally available again on LP.

Dutch sitar wizard Okko Bekker first appeared on the Hamburg scene in the late 1960s. Having studied music, he released this classic debut in 1971. Here, he tackles two Beatles classics, as well as six original compositions, with backing from synthesizers, electric guitar, flute, tabla and his own masterful sitar playing. The heady result is rightly regarded as a classic of the genre, and makes its long-awaited return to CD here.
