Indian Music?

Years ago I listened to Ravi Shankar occasionally and enjoyed a lot of what I heard. The other night I watched an interview Charlie Rose had with a very famous tabla player and his music was superb. I'm thinking that I should explore traditional Indian music a bit further but have little knowledge of the subject. Any suggestions on 2-6 CDs I should check out for starters? I prefer instrumental but would consider vocal as well. Thanks!
PS: If you're suggesting obscure titles, sources would also be appreciated.

2. All of the 'signature series' recordings of Ali Akbar Khan on his own label
3. On Nimbus records, anything by Asad Ali Khan
4. Anything by Z.M. Dagar, the great Rudra Vina player
