311: L. Shankar // Touch Me There

Touch Me There L. Shankar 1979, Zappa

My girlfriend fished this record out of the dollar bin because of its weird cover, noticed it was on Zappa Records, and figured I might find it interesting (good girlfriend). And… well, it is interesting. Perplexing might be the better word actually, as it’s hard to imagine who this record was supposed to be for. L. Shankar is an Indian violinist best known for playing in East-West fusion band Shakti with John McLaughlin (and later co-composing the Last Temptation of Christ score with Peter Gabriel, and later still doing a record with the guy from KoRn?); he ended up in Zappa’s late ‘70s band, and eventually cut this solo debut with the mustachioed one behind the boards. Touch Me There is an incoherent mix of the near-parodic beer commercial rock Zappa was churning out at the time, New Age-y violin instrumentals, and doofy fusion. The transition from snickering rocker “Dead Girls of London” (the single, with Frank contributing vocals) to spa muzak number “Windy Morning” at the top of the record is enough to give you whiplash, and it sets the tone for what’s to come, though side two eventually settles into a sleepy background music groove. Despite a stellar cast of session guys (a previous owner of my copy wrote “Simon Phillips!” in pen next to a song he drums on) it’s basically all trash. The sole highlight is “Knee Deep in Heaters,” a benzo’d ska number that splashes together Shankar’s peculiar falsetto and droning electric violin improvisations over a faux Caribbean beat that somewhat improbably works. (The aforementioned girlfriend’s actually here at the moment, and is kicking my ass at describing this song, so I’ll just throw it to her: “This is a very Major Lazer sample, y’know? It’s like the soundtrack to a scene where a guy’s been given some kind of drug and they’re like, ‘I don’t feel anything oh whoa.”) Anyway, this is a bad record, but as with most things Zappa, there’s at least much to scratch your head over.

Several progressive rock musicians ended up being quite popular in some parts of their careers as they occupied the charts. To give you an example – Mike Oldfield became something of a pop musician in a certain part of the 80's. The tune in the link might be the most famous piece of his in that vein, since the entire composition distills all his idiosyncrasies into one neat package. Each element of the piece hangs in a precarious balance, yet the whole thing just works. Take a look for instance at Maggie Reilly's vocals. Anyone else would have made this more ballad-like, yet the softness of her voice makes the entire ditty more tragic. There's a sense of inevitability that one has to deal with despite the sadness the latter brought.
