The Beatles' involvement in India probably triggered an upswing in already existing intercultural musical projects in England. Emerging bands such as the Mahavishnu Orchestra convincingly integrated the sitar as a rock instrument in an East-West context. The Cosmic Eye project, initiated and led by British-based Indian composer and guitarist Amancio D'Silva, also brought together contemporary rock, jazz and Indian tradition. In addition to D'Silva (g), the highly innovative studio experiment involved the following renowned British jazz and Indian classical musicians: Viram Jasani (sit), who was a guest musician on Led Zeppelin's debut album, John Mayer (vln), Ray Swinfield (fl), Derek Grossmith (alto fl), Chris Taylor (b fl), Alan Branscombe (perc, sax), Toni Campo (b), Keshav Sathe (tabla) and Dougie Wright (dr).

The instrumental album Dream Sequence, recorded at the iconic Landsdowne Studios, was released in 1972 by Regal Zonophone. Divided into two long tracks — each corresponding to one LP side — the experimental fusion of Indo-jazz and instrumental rock seamlessly blends into a single fusion sound. In addition to world music, jazz elements such as electric guitar improvisations, Western drums and psychedelic elements were added, influenced by the mysticism of traditional Indian music. Groundbreaking in its unique synthesis of Indo-British jazz and raga rock, this legendary LP remained the only release and is therefore highly sought after today.
