Please forgive me if there are multiple copies of this information
as my mail program has gone a bit wonky and hopefully this will be
third time lucky.

This may be 'Mathar' by Indian Vibes (email me for label and catalogue
number). Indian Vibes is Bredan Lynch (Paul Weller's producer) and
features Mr Weller on sitar. There are a couple of remixes by Xpress2/
Ballistic Brothers on the 12" and this is well worth picking up even
if it is not the track that you are looking for.
(It is a cover version of a track by ??? and may well be on a couple
of compilations as it was quite a big track track last summer).

Or it may be 'Indian Summer' by Danny Saber (Black Grape's producer)
which I haven't heard but from what I have read sounds very similar
to the Indian Vibes track and should be out now or very soon.
(Has anyone heard this or got teh correct release date? I think it is
to be released on a label callled Bottom Heavy.)

Or then again it may be the last Fila Brazilia release 'Soft Music
Under Stars' (Pork PORK033) which also makes use of sitars ads sounds
similar to the Indian Vibes track (mixes brilliantly for any djs out
there) but doesn't get quite as funky until quite late on in the
track. Again worth getting a hold of even if it not the correct track.

Colin.
