█▀░░ PsyCZ group was formed in spring 2001 by its first three members ... ░░▀█
█▀░ But as every group grows and gets new members, new people joined PsyCZ ░▀█
█▀░ to help us in our mission. Our main common loved genere was psychedelic ░▀█
█▀░ ... of course, but everone of us likes several more genres. This caused, ░▀█
█▀░ that several members began to demand releasing other music styles such ░▀█
█▀░ as ambient, drum&bass and few more ... So we realized, that our original ░▀█
█▀░ name PsyCZ is a little uncomfortable, because it highlights our psy - ░▀█
█▀░ sight. After few days of debates we decided to found new sub-group ... ░▀█
█▀░ and here we are ... PsyCZ_NP will bring you plenty of non psychedelic ░▀█
█▀░ music ... especially ambient, but some other genres are planned too. ░▀█
█▀░ Why did we decide for non-psy? Changing of the group name isn't possible ░▀█
█▀░ so possibilities we had was only adding a suffix to current group name ░▀█
█▀░░ ... so have chosen non-psy, because it's clearest and most fluent ... ░░▀█

█▀║ Artist: ║▀█
█▀║ Babatunde Olatunji was a virtuoso drummer who became a sensation in ║▀█
█▀║ the '60s with his albums of traditional Nigerian drumming and ║▀█
█▀║ chanting. If Olatunji debuted in today's environment, he would be ║▀█
█▀║ subjected to much tougher scrutiny and evaluation regarding ║▀█
█▀║ "authenticity" than he received in the '60s. His heralded albums, ║▀█
█▀║ particularly Drums of Passion, weren't quite the innovative event some ║▀█
█▀║ claimed. They were fine LPs, but also contained a heavy dose of show ║▀█
█▀║ business and sanitized playing that would be duly noted today, ║▀█
█▀║ particuarly in the specialist press. Still, his albums reportedly were ║▀█
█▀║ very influential on John Coltrane. They were among the few ║▀█
█▀║ international releases to not just make the charts, but remain on them ║▀█
█▀║ for years. Olatunji didn't make many albums in his prime. From 1964 ║▀█
█▀║ until 1967 he had four hit LPs. He'd originally come to America in the ║▀█
█▀║ early '60s to study medicine. Olatunji formed a band of African ║▀█
█▀║ expatriates mainly as an exercise and way to help each other avoid ║▀█
█▀║ being homesick. The ensemble scored a hit record and he became a ║▀█
█▀║ musician. The popularity of Drums Of Passion and More Drums Of Passion ║▀█
█▀║ predated the '60s black nationalist movement and Afrocentricity of the ║▀█
█▀║ '80s and '90s. They also had some impact in jazz circles, though they ║▀█
█▀║ weren't as significant as the Afro-Latin revolution initiated by Mario ║▀█
█▀║ Bauza, Machito and Chano Pozo. Olatunji resurfaced in the late '80s on ║▀█
█▀║ the Blue Heron label with The Beat Of My Drum, a release featuring a ║▀█
█▀║ 17-piece band that included Carlos Santana and Airto Moreira. He ║▀█
█▀║ subsequently recorded more sessions for Rykodisc, including a digital ║▀█
█▀║ remix of "Drums of Passion." A few of his albums are available on CD. ║▀█
