Particles present the second of two legendary compilation albums released to commemorate the All-India Beat Contest, instituted in 1968 by Simla (‘the oldest cigarette company with a young heart’). Featuring acts from Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Madras and Bangalore, the music bears clear Western influences, but with a distinctive Eastern twist, and is presented here complete with original artwork, remastered sound and informative liner notes.
