I have had this playing in the background at dinner parties, I've listened to it alone, in the car. It caters to any ear, and the tracks have been so carefully selected, you can't help but think that this was a labour of love for whoever put it together.
As someone who is Indian but doesn't listen to Indian music that much, I found this a compilation full of nostalgia and it remains mainstream without ever getting cheesy. Not an easy trick to pull off.
For anyone for whom Hindi is not their mother tongue, the innocence of Bollywood music through 3 decades combined with instruments that are not often heard in western music will draw you in. Of that I am sure. There isn't a duff tune in this compilation. Buy it - you will not be dissapointed!
