That is brilliant, but why can't I hear the tabla without thinking of Get Carter?
Thought I would see if available on Amazon. Coincidentally, the first comment on there is from someone from Glasgow.

Hey, Eric. I'm glad you like this. This collaboration, and several other Brahem releases, are quite excellent. "Thimar" - with John Surman and Dave Holland - is a similar high spot.
"Get Carter" was groundbreaking stuff; Roy Budd was an immense talent.
Thanks for the Amazon observation. Entirely coincidental, but interesting.
On the money with the Budd score for Get Carter, just magic
Wishing you a good weekend ib
