Hi David. Can you recall the books you refer to reading early on about “world” and Indian classical music and their effects on us? I’d like to add to my reading list on this subject.

I read whatever I could get my hands on that was available in the late 80's before internet on esoteric history and power of music. I don't recall exactly how I was introduced to the Raga and how the scales were used to induce certain moods but now with internet, there is no dirth of sites that talk about Raga or the history of the Greek modes long before Miles made it a thing.

Here are three sources that I recall reading at the time. More have been written on the inner/esoteric side of music

The Secret Power of Music David Tame

The Healing Energies of Music-Hal Lingerman

Esoteric books on music by Corinne Heline
