38 cues
The slowest cue here at 80bpm, pairing male chant with ney flute, tanpura and shaker for an explicitly Indian-leaning underscore. Patient, breathing and unresolved, it leaves broad space for narration over ritual or rural footage.
The most overtly Indian-leaning cue here: tabla and hand percussion under a steady 130bpm beat, strings and drone giving a wide cinematic haze that reads as travel as much as threat. Grim but relatively even-tempered, useful for arrival sequences in an unfamiliar city.
The ambient outlier: pads, drone and soft beat with strings and percussion at 100bpm, more emotional and sad than suspenseful, with an Indian tonal colour. Wide and slow-moving, ideal under narration or drifting drone footage of a search.
The longest and most spacious piece here, a slow 86bpm A-major reflection built on sustained strings, piano, flute and ney with soft percussion and airy vocal texture. Its arc is wide-open and devotional rather than rhythmic, suited to landscape and altitude.
Sitar and tabla lead over an electronic beat with piano underneath and wordless ooh-and-ahh backing vocals, pushed along at 130 BPM in C minor. The most overtly Indian-flavoured of the faster cues — good for astrology, fortune-telling or ritual imagery, or any montage that wants an ethnic groove without losing its calm.
A mid-tempo 105 BPM strut in F pairing male and female Punjabi lead vocals with twangy reverb-soaked surf guitar, a fat funk bass line and tabla-driven groove. Struts rather than sprints, with a sly, sexy comic swagger built for slow-motion entrances and spaghetti-western-style stand-offs.
At 130 BPM with tabla and bells joining the drone-and-pad bed, this is the most propulsive and the longest piece on the album — five minutes of steady ethnic groove in G flat minor. The energy is momentum rather than aggression, ideal for long-form cutting. Suits busy market and city footage, global-change or technology narration, and montage that needs continuous forward motion.
A slower 100bpm bed in D flat minor that widens the palette with didgeridoo, sitar and wordless female chant beneath the flute and drone. The feel is open-road spiritual rather than threatening, though the harmony stays unsettled. Good for travel documentary, outback or open-plains aerials, and meditative brand films.
A calm, airy Indian-flavoured underscore at 110 BPM, built on bamboo flute lines over sustained strings and light hand percussion. It stays open and observational rather than dramatic, holding a mysterious, contemplative mood across its 2:40 without pushing to a climax.
The brightest cue here: C major, 120 BPM, with tabla and hand percussion locking to an electronic beat under ney, flute and plucked santur. More rhythmic momentum than the rest of the set, making it a good bed for movement — walking, cooking, crafting or market scenes — while still staying calm and non-intrusive.
A romantic 110 BPM cut in B where synth pads soften the surf guitar and funk bass under paired male and female vocals. More emotional and flirtatious than the album's chase tracks, tilting toward a courtship scene or a lovers' meeting played for warmth and humour.
The longest cue at 3:14, in A minor at 100bpm, layering male vocal chant and sitar over djembe, flute and drone. Slow, incantatory and claustrophobic in line with the title, sustaining unease across a full scene. Suits a cult or monastery sequence, prison or confinement footage, and long-form investigative narration.
The brightest, most festive cue on the set: a 103bpm A-major pop-world groove where fiddle, accordion and flute trade lines over a light beat, strings and wordless vocal colour. It reads as street-party celebration rather than introspection, and holds a steady feel-good lift across three and a half minutes.
An 86 BPM cue in E stripped to the album's core band — surf guitar, bass, tabla, beat and male/female vocals — with no sitar or strings sweetening it. Cool, unhurried and a touch lecherously funny, good for a character-establishing walk or a barbershop/turban-tying vignette.
A mid-tempo downtempo groove in F minor built on a soft electronic beat and warm bass, with ney and flute lines and bell accents floating over the top and wordless female vocal samples adding a devotional colour. Gentle and unhurried rather than driving — suits spa and wellness footage, slow travel imagery of temples and markets, or a meditative voiceover segment.
The most driven cue at 162bpm in A minor, with tabla and sitar under the flute plus Tuvan throat-style vocals adding a raw, guttural low end. Dense and ominous, urgency without release. Strong for a chase or pursuit across arid terrain, a ritual-horror sequence, or an escalating conflict edit.
The fastest and brightest cue on the set at 120 BPM in A minor, driving hard on tabla and beat with surf guitar riffing over a flute counter-line and traded male/female vocals. Energetic and happy with a chase-scene urgency that suits foot pursuits and dancefloor cutaways.
C major at 140bpm with tabla, djembe and sitar giving a distinctly Indian pulse beneath the flute and drone. Faster and more forward-moving than most of the album, dreamlike but propulsive. Fits South Asian city or festival footage, a market sequence, or a spice and textile brand film.
Erhu leads this compact 105bpm D-flat minor piece, backed by strings, piano, flute, ney, percussion and a soft beat. East Asian melodic colour and a mid-tempo pulse give it a bittersweet, timeless quality across a tight three minutes.
An 80 BPM F minor piece anchored by a sustained drone, with bells, duduk and wordless vocal samples over a light beat — the most explicitly chant-and-mantra flavoured cue on the record. Very still and inward-facing; ideal for breathwork sequences, temple interiors or a contemplative voiceover.
The slowest groove here at 81 BPM in D, a loose swaggering shuffle with sitar and fiddle joining surf guitar, funk bass and tabla under male and female vocals. Comic and sensual in equal measure, ideal for a leisurely feast, a sultry saloon interior or a deadpan visual gag.
The title track: 80 BPM in A minor, with synth arpeggio and violin over percussion and a beat that includes turntable scratching — the one cue with an urban, street-level edge among all the ambient chill. Suits portraits of outsiders and subcultures, city documentary work, and footage that needs a groove with grit under the calm.
The longest of the mid-tempo tracks at 2:53, a playful 105 BPM number in G minor with sitar and fiddle threading over surf guitar, funk bass and tabla. Flirtatious and teasing, built to carry a full scene of romantic mischief or a spinning, colour-drenched dance sequence.
The most electronic cue on the record: a 119bpm A-major groove pairing programmed beat and piano with fiddle, violin, strings, flute and vocal texture. Playful and forward-moving, an ethnic-fusion feel with a modern floor underneath.
The longest and most fully arranged track at 3:12, a 120 BPM D minor driver with synth and strings over surf guitar, funk bass, tabla and lead male/female vocals. Fast, festive and celebratory with room for a proper build and payoff — the natural closing or full-length montage choice.
The title cue and the fastest here at 140 BPM, driving strings, flute and drums into the album's most urgent tension. Serious and forward-moving, it works where footage needs momentum and threat at once — a chase through crowded streets or a countdown to a decision.
At 92 BPM in E minor this is one of the album's grander cues, adding flute, synth and strings to the surf guitar, funk bass and tabla foundation. The minor key and widescreen sweep give it a regal, faintly cinematic tilt suitable for historical portraits and epic-comic build-ups.
A brisk, happy 95 BPM cut in E minor with no ornamental instruments — just surf guitar, funk bass, beat, tabla and youthful male/female vocals. Playful and energetic at a tight 2:21, made for street scenes, kids-and-teens footage and light-hearted group activity.
Sitar, tabla and hand percussion with piano and wordless ooh-and-ahh vocals at a comfortable 100 BPM in C minor, the longest of the ethnic-groove cues at just under four minutes. Sits neatly between the album's meditative beds and its faster grooves, so it holds up as an extended chillout bed for retail, hospitality or a long travel sequence.
At 1:48 the shortest and most compact cue on the album, a 100 BPM F minor groove with sitar over surf guitar, funk bass and tabla plus male and female vocals. Punchy and quirky with a darker minor colour — a natural fit for a short-form spot or a quick comic interlude.
The one major-key cue on the record: C major drones and pads with tabla, soft beat, flute and wordless vocal samples, giving it an open, hopeful tone amid otherwise minor surroundings. Mid-paced at 90 BPM and over four minutes, it holds a calm, curious mood throughout. Use for AI and consciousness explainers, humane technology brand films, or optimistic nature narration.
A 95 BPM cue in E flat with flute, synth and strings layered over the surf guitar, funk bass and tabla core, giving it a more scenic, panoramic feel than its neighbours. Cool and slyly sexy, suited to mountain-and-valley aerials cut against a wink of comedy.
A 92 BPM cue in C minor with flute, synth and strings adding an emotional edge to the surf guitar, funk bass and tabla groove and call-and-response male/female vocals. Cooler and more wistful than the album's outright comedy numbers, working for a reflective beat inside an otherwise upbeat sequence.
