HI Everyone, I watched this movie and specially enjoyed the acid trip scene - after the bus when the indian music is playing. On the soundtrack it credits Ravi Shankar, song: Raga Manj Khamaj. But having listened/bought a few songs with that name on itunes by Ravi shankar, i can't find the exact part of the song that plays in the film in any of the songs i bought. Can anyone help me with this, is it a special version of Raga Manj Khamaj ? many thanks.

Yeah, I had the same issue; I wanted the song so badly! I found that the exact version is on his album, "At the Woodstock Festival", released in 1970, and the excerpt found in the film, I'm not necessarily sure, but I think it starts primarily at the 11:00 minute mark and ends a minute later. Ethereal, man, you know that the vibrations will never cease to manifest :-)
