SONY MUSIC MY NAME IS KHAN/soundtrack: Bollywood continues to take on western influences as it deals with romantic aspects of people’s lives in the wake of 9/11. This isn’t what we’re accustomed to seeing on cable channels at the far end of the dial. With a soundtrack as integral to the story as it was to say, “American Graffiti”, this ain’t your typical Bollywood soundtrack loaded with off brand Madonna dance numbers. Taking in a wide range of modes without sounding like an old Folkways or Nonesuch world beat date, this is practically a pop record with some foreign spice. Gringos won’t know what’s going on, but it really comes together with a nice sound and vibe. 02/24/10
