  • モンスーン（Monsoon）は、1980年代初頭のイギリスのワールド/ポップ・トリオで、歌手のシーラ・チャンドラ、音楽プロデューサーのスティーヴ・コー、ベーシストのマーティン・スミスで構成されていた。彼らの曲「Ever So Lonely」は、1982年の全英シングルチャートで12位のヒット・シングルとなった。 ミッジ・ユーロが、モンスーンのセカンド・シングル「シャクティ」のビデオを監督したが、全英トップ40を逃した。モンスーンのサード・シングル「Tomorrow Never Knows」（ビートルズの1966年の曲のカバー）には、ビル・ネルソン、プレストン・ヘイマン、デイヴ・バルフェ（ティアドロップ・エクスプローズ）、メリック（アダム&ジ・アンツ）がゲスト参加した。 彼らのレーベル、フォノグラムとの方向性の違いにより、モンスーンは1982年に解散した。シーラ・チャンドラはソロ・キャリアを開始し、スティーヴ・コーがマーティン・スミスと同様に彼女のアルバムの作曲とプロデュースを続けたが、多くの場合、ガンジス・オーケストラという名義になっていた。 フォノグラムは「解散後」の1983年に、アルバム『サード・アイ』をリリースした。 (ja)

  • Monsoon var det första indipopbandet, dvs det första europeiska eller amerikanska popbandet som helhjärtat satsade på en fusion av västerländska och indiska popstilar, inte att förväxla med . Monsoon bildades i början av 1980-talet av en brittisk progressiv pop-trio som bestod av då tonåriga sångerskan Sheila Chandra, producenten Steve Coe, och basgitarristen Martin Smith. Musikstilen kallas indipop, ej att förväxla med indiepop (även om bandet faktiskt försökte vara obeorende), och är en subgenre till world music/worldbeat. (sv)

Monsoon's third single, "Tomorrow Never Knows" (a cover of the Beatles' 1966 song), featured guest appearances from Bill Nelson, Preston Heyman, Dave Balfe (The Teardrop Explodes) and Merrick (Adam and the Ants). Due to differences with their label, Phonogram, Monsoon dissolved in 1982. Sheila Chandra started a solo career, Steve Coe continued writing and producing her albums, as well as Martin Smith, but often under the name Ganges Orchestra. Phonogram released Third Eye in 1983, after the act had split up. A compilation of Monsoon recordings including several previously unreleased tracks was released on CD in 1995 by Phonogram's partner label Mercury Records. (en)
