Talk:Charanjit Singh (musician)

Cite issue[edit]

@jagged please see this last reply, below mostly repeats the concerns raised. If further debate is required regarding the specific cite mentioned below, we will need to move to the RS notice board. You supply this as a cite, this links to a distributor of the album discussed in the article, it has a commercial interest, is a primary source, and is not independent of the subject. The cite is a list of product endorsements, in the form of review out-takes, that are mostly from record resellers, blog reviews, etc. for the latter WP:WEB & WP:SPS are concerns. Can you please find reliable secondary sources to replace this cite? --Semitransgenic (talk) 12:04, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

FACT cite[edit]

Hi Jagged85, still an issue with this. In the paragraph about the mix, FACT says nothing about the inclusion of the Singh track, so the use of "according to" seems inappropriate. It's a matter of engaging in OR: we look at a track listing, see the inclusion of a track relevant to the article, and we report on it. If the FACT item stated categorically that Âme included Charanjit Singh's Raga Megh in their mix then it would be a usable cite. Unless some RS source has commented on the inclusion of this track in Âme's mix we can't address it. --Semitransgenic (talk) 11:13, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proto-acid house, not actual acid house[edit]

I understand the temptation to overstate the significance of the similarity of Ten Ragas to a Disco Beat to acid house music, but please be careful when editing this article, so as not to say or imply that the LP is an early example of actual acid house. Some previous discussion:

The LP reissue label's own page of reviews (thanks for the link!) is chock-full of examples of music journalists being very careful in their wording, in this regard:

"has all the reductionist groove of Acid techno, Ceephax, Phuture 303, Aphex"[1]
"a proto-acid house record"[2]
"proto-house"[3]
"a pioneering electronic/psychedelic journey"[4]
"one of the first records to utilise equipment that would later create the house, acid and techno genres"[5]

Thanks. —mjb (talk) 08:59, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
