The best indian sitar albums?
I've always really liked sitar music, but have only had a couple CDs that I borrowed (stole) from my parents a while ago and don't really know much about the genre. So what are some really good albums? I'm looking for some CDs that just have good, tranquil sitar playing with those cool drums that always kick in after ten minutes. Ya know, something good to study/relax/meditate/sleep to. Any suggestions? Preferably albums that have a few really long tracks, as opposed to several 5 minute tracks and so on.

Yeah I've been meaning to post the same question. I love Sitar and Tabla(drum) music 
Would it be safe to assume Ravi Shankar's older stuff might be good. What about his daughter(not nora jones)?

If you're open-minded, and like trying something "different" -
I highly suggest giving Ashwin a try.
I love these albums
