Indian Sitar Stuff

While somewhat alone at the time, I rather enjoyed some of the sitar and sitar-influenced guitar work George brought to some of the Beatles songs. Just recently, I found an old Ravi Shankar LP "Three Ragas" on Pacific Jazz and really like many parts of that. Can people suggest pressings (LP's) of other similar instrumental-only Indian music featuring sitar. I am not huge on vocal pieces. Maybe if I understood. ;-)

Anoushka Shankar, daughter of Ravi, has a wonderful CD out, titled, if I recall 'Anoushka'. Traditional technique with some of her own compositions. She has the most fluid hands on the instrument I've ever heard. Can be seen on the George Harrison tribute at the Royal Albert Hall. She is also on a terrific live recording with her dad - I'll try to remember to bring the particulars from home.
