█▀░░ 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 genres was psychedelic ░▀█
█▀░ .. of course, but everyone 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 ... ░░▀█

█▀║ The Second And Final Volume Of Music Recorded For The Naori Takizawa ║▀█
█▀║ Fashion Show Is Far More Abstract And Haunting Than The First, With A ║▀█
█▀║ Different Set Of Elements Introduced Into And Equally Seamless Mix. On ║▀█
█▀║ The Earlier Album, Milano (Also Known As "the First Set"), Nobukazu ║▀█
█▀║ Takemura Relied Heavily On Harmonic Variations On What He Decided Were ║▀█
█▀║ "classically-Oriented" Themes. He Employed Computer-Driven Programs ║▀█
█▀║ That Simulated The Sounds Of Winds, Strings, Reeds, And Even ║▀█
█▀║ Percussion, All Of Them Very Warm And Organic Sounding. Where Themes ║▀█
█▀║ And Variations Developed On One Another Into Intricate Lyric Patterns ║▀█
█▀║ And Rhythmic Pulses, The Sounds Here -- While Resembling In Places ║▀█
█▀║ Those Found On The Earlier Disc (Particularly The Sound Of The Harp) ║▀█
█▀║ -- Are Also Abstracted With Industrial Sounds, Digital Noises, And ║▀█
█▀║ Structured Musical Entropy, Where All Thematic Elements That Are ║▀█
█▀║ Created Are Gradually And Systematically Dismantled In Order To Arrive ║▀█
█▀║ At Their Most Base Materials: Whether That Be A Note Or Only A Un- ║▀█
█▀║ Pitched Sound. What Holds This Sprawling Electronic Soundscape ║▀█
█▀║ Together Is Takemura's Insistence On Bringing The Listener With Him. ║▀█
█▀║ There Are A Few Note Patterns That Seem To Repeat Every Once In A Blue ║▀█
█▀║ Moon, No Matter How Disenfranchised The Material Becomes. Using Spare, ║▀█
█▀║ Long Tones And Shifting Edges With The Corners Rounded In The Mixing ║▀█
█▀║ Booth, Takemura Is Able To Make Some Colorful Music That Is As Reliant ║▀█
█▀║ On Timing, Nuance, And Texture As It Is On The Gear He Composes And ║▀█
█▀║ Performs It On. Finale Is A Haunting, Stark Work, That, While Shrouded ║▀█
█▀║ In Stillness, Never Quite Stands Still, Is Almost Lush In Places, Full ║▀█
█▀║ Of Mood, Subtlety, And An Impeccable Maverick Method. What A Way To ║▀█
█▀║ End A Fashion Show. ║▀█

█▀║ Biography: ║▀█
█▀║ ║▀█
█▀║ Kyoto-Based Producer Nobukazu Takemura's Career Has Followed An Odd ║▀█
█▀║ Trajectory For An Artist Produced By The Club Scene. He Emerged As A ║▀█
█▀║ Hip-Hop Dj In The Mid-'80s, Inspired By The Japanese Leg Of The ║▀█
█▀║ Legendary ~wild Style Tour (Largely Credited For Introducing Hip-Hop ║▀█
█▀║ To Japan). A Short-Lived Career As A Battle Dj Led Takemura To Shift ║▀█
█▀║ Focus To The Mixing Desk In The Late '80s, And Within A Few Years He ║▀█
█▀║ Was Releasing Tracks Through Mo'wax, Lollop, And Bungalow Under The ║▀█
█▀║ Names Dj Takemura And Spiritual Vibes. Ostensibly Trip-Hop And Acid ║▀█
█▀║ Jazz, These Releases Were Marked By A High Quotient Of Live ║▀█
█▀║ Instrumentation And, In Contrast To His Bedroom-Producer Colleagues, ║▀█
█▀║ Very High Production Values. In Parallel With His Club-Oriented ║▀█
█▀║ Releases, Takemura Was Also Producing More Exploratory Material ║▀█
█▀║ Together With Yamatsuka Eye (Of The Boredoms) And Aki Onda As Audio ║▀█
█▀║ Sports; The Group Released An Lp, Era Of Glittering Gas, Before Onda ║▀█
█▀║ Took Sole Control Of The Project In 1992. By The Mid-'90s, Takemura ║▀█
█▀║ Had Signed With Warner Japan As A Solo Artist, And His Releases As ║▀█
█▀║ Child's View And Under His Own Name Tended Increasingly Toward A ║▀█
█▀║ Challenging Diffusion Of Hip-Hop, Jazz, Pop, Drum'n'bass, And Post- ║▀█
█▀║ Classical Music. (The 1996 Remix Album, Child's View Remix, Featuring ║▀█
█▀║ Aphex Twin, Coldcut, And Wagon Christ, Among Others, Suggested His ║▀█
█▀║ Growing Interest In The Experimental Fringes Of Dance Culture.) With ║▀█
█▀║ 1997's Child Magic Lp, Takemura's Interest In The Relatively More ║▀█
█▀║ Stable Rhythms Of Dance Music Had Almost Completely Fallen Away, And ║▀█
█▀║ Elements Of Experimental Computer Music And Overt References To ║▀█
█▀║ Minimalist Composers Such As Terry Riley And Steve Reich Filled His ║▀█
█▀║ Tracks, Which Tended To Pair Cycling Flute, Percussion, And Bell-Tone ║▀█
█▀║ Patterns With The Glitchy Desktop Discontinuities Of Oval And Ryoji ║▀█
█▀║ Ikeda, Among Others. Two Other Releases From This Period -- Funfair, ║▀█
█▀║ On The American Bubble Core Label, And Milano, On Warner Japan, ║▀█
█▀║ Solidified This New Direction. (The Latter Cd Takemura Originally ║▀█
█▀║ Produced For A Fashion Show By Popular Japanese Designer Issey ║▀█
█▀║ Miyake.) Following A Japanese Date With American Post-Rockers ║▀█
█▀║ Tortoise, Takemura Secured Release Plans With Tortoise's Label, Thrill ║▀█
█▀║ Jockey, And 1999 Saw The Release Of His Most Abstract, "difficult" ║▀█
█▀║ Material To Date. Scope, Preceded By The "meteor" 12-Inch, Bore Only ║▀█
█▀║ The Most Tenuous Resemblance To His Previous Releases, Consisting Of A ║▀█
█▀║ Dizzying Blur Of Digital Static, Off-Kilter Bell Patterns, Mangled ║▀█
█▀║ Vocal Samples, And Cd Skips. Like His Original Works, Remixes By ║▀█
█▀║ Takemura Also Span A Wide Range, Including Artists Such As Tortoise, ║▀█
█▀║ Indie-Pop Singer Takako Minekawa, Junglist Roni Size, And Steve Reich. ║▀█
█▀║ 2001 Was A Busy Year For Takemura: In The Winter He Released The Ep ║▀█
█▀║ Sign, Which Featured Members Of Tortoise, Brokeback And Isotope 217; ║▀█
█▀║ In The Spring, He Released Another Child's View Album, Hoshi No Koe. ║▀█
█▀║ ║▀█
█▀║ ║▀█
█▀║ Takemura's Output Only Increased During The Next Two Years; He ║▀█
█▀║ Alternated Experimental Records On Thrill Jockey With More Obscure ║▀█
█▀║ Efforts For His Own Childisc Label And Indie Stalwarts Bubblecore. ║▀█

█▀║ rewards given. ║▀█
█▀║ We are also looking for 100Mbit+ sites with "all years" releases to ║▀█

█▀║ are also welcome. ║▀█

█▀║ ║▀█
█▀║ As time goes by, the world matures. PsyCZ has matured and the scene has ║▀█
█▀║ matured. PsyCZ has been releasing MP3 in VBR (using --r3mix with LAME ║▀█
█▀║ 3.89, making it archival quality enough even from today's view) since ║▀█
█▀║ end of 2001, and was met with skepticism. As time went by, more and more ║▀█
█▀║ groups realised that VBR is superiur to CBR 192. Finally, now in 2004, ║▀█
█▀║ VBR is allowed by the scene. ║▀█
█▀║ PsyCZ in 2004 will also continue to bring you the finest psychedelic ║▀█
█▀║ trance music from around the world, as we have done since 2001. ║▀█
