█▀░░ 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 ... ░░▀█

█▀║ : : ║▀█
█▀║ Suns of Arqa are an ever-expanding collective of musicians, who, under ║▀█
█▀║ the guidance of Wadada - produce some of the most eclectic and ║▀█
█▀║ uplifting music you are likely to come across. ║▀█
█▀║ ║▀█
█▀║ Suns of Arqa creator and mentor Michael Wadada has been continuously ║▀█
█▀║ investigating the supernatural potential hidden in the Classical Raga ║▀█
█▀║ structure of the music of India. His mission û to mix the cerebral and ║▀█
█▀║ illusive cosmological vibrations of Raga, with the mother earth ║▀█
█▀║ rhythms of Niyabinghi drumming that were surfacing in England in the ║▀█
█▀║ guise of Dub Reggae. ║▀█
█▀║ ║▀█
█▀║ In 1979 Wadada set about recording the ground breaking Suns of Arqa ║▀█
█▀║ album 'Revenge of the Mozabites' with his friend Adrian Sherwood. ║▀█
█▀║ Together they formed the æ4D RhythmÆ label û the world was not ready! ║▀█
█▀║ Wadada retreated to the Pennine mountain range in Lancashire, Adrian ║▀█
█▀║ Sherwood went on to create the formidable æOn-U SoundÆ label. Three ║▀█
█▀║ years went by before a a very curious Peter Gabriel came across a rare ║▀█
█▀║ copy of that first Suns of Arqa album; he was putting together the ║▀█
█▀║ very first World of Music and Dance festival (WOMAD), and asked Suns ║▀█
█▀║ of Arqa to come and perform. ║▀█
█▀║ ║▀█
█▀║ Manchester was the ideal melting pot for Wadada to form the first Suns ║▀█
█▀║ of Arqa live band. At the same time the Belgian label æAntler SubwayÆ ║▀█
█▀║ released the LP æWadada MagicÆ; both this and æRevenge of the ║▀█
█▀║ MozabitesÆ are now available on one album û æArqaologyÆ ARKA 2105CD ║▀█
█▀║ Next came the legendary collaborations with Prince Far-I, which can be ║▀█
█▀║ heard on æA Brief History of SOAÆ (Arka 2111CD) which as the title ║▀█
█▀║ suggests is a potted history of Suns of Arqa. ║▀█
█▀║ ║▀█
█▀║ 7th December 1982 Prince Far-I did one last show in Manchester with ║▀█
█▀║ Suns of Arqa; on his return to Jamaica he was murdered by an ║▀█
█▀║ unidentified gunman. This last performance can be heard on æSuns of ║▀█
█▀║ Arqa Live with Prince Far-IÆ Arka2100CD. ║▀█
█▀║ ║▀█
█▀║ Wadada went into hiding again, this time to the Cornish fishing ║▀█
█▀║ village of Polperro where he produced the epic 'Land of a Thousand ║▀█
█▀║ ChurchesÆ (Arka 2101CD). An album where the Requiem mass of Gabriel ║▀█
█▀║ FaurΘ meets Heavy Dub, Hindu Gods meet Celtic mythology and Soul meets ║▀█
█▀║ Reggae. With a cast of thousands, including John Cooper Clarke, ║▀█
█▀║ Professor Stanley Unwin, Feso Trombone, Helen Watson, Eric Random, ║▀█
█▀║ James Young, Choirs, Hurdy GurdyÆs and WadadaÆs very own musical ║▀█
█▀║ invention, the Sajoe. ║▀█
█▀║ ║▀█
█▀║ The following album went back to the roots û Suns of ArqaÆs roots that ║▀█
█▀║ is! With WadadaÆs bass line gelling together the beautiful hues of Tim ║▀█
█▀║ WheaterÆs flute and the whirling shenhai sounds of Kadir Durvesh, this ║▀█
█▀║ deleted æAntler SubwayÆ LP can now be heard, wonderfully remixed by ║▀█
█▀║ Youth on æJaggernaut Whirling DubÆ (Arka 2103CD). The purely ║▀█
█▀║ meditative æCradleÆ (Arka CD EASM004) again had Kadir Durvesh (whose ║▀█
█▀║ credits include work with george Harrison as well as the new Kula ║▀█
█▀║ Shaker album) and Tim Wheater blending heavenly melodies with the ║▀█
█▀║ haunting violin of PolandÆs Marek Miczyk. ║▀█
█▀║ ║▀█
█▀║ The prolific works of Wadada and the Suns of Arqa continued, with the ║▀█
█▀║ ambient dub collaborations, featuring the great Bamboo flute maestro ║▀█
█▀║ from Bombay Ragunath Seth on æKokoromochiÆ (Arka 2104CD). This album ║▀█
█▀║ also has two 20 minute tracks from the long lost æIndia?Æ LP. Although ║▀█
█▀║ these albums were not readily available in the shops, they were on the ║▀█
█▀║ turntables of Dostor Alex (The Orb) Patterson, who was at that time A ║▀█
█▀║ & R man at Robert FrippÆs EG Music. Wadada played sitar with The Orb ║▀█
█▀║ on their October 1998 tour. ║▀█
█▀║ ║▀█
█▀║ Wadada was also inadvertantly, or otherwise, influencing a whole new ║▀█
█▀║ wave of acts such as Transglobal Underground, Jah WobbleÆs Invaders of ║▀█
█▀║ the Heart, Loop Guru etc; and later on a whole new posse, with the ║▀█
█▀║ likes of Celt Arabia, Afro-Celt Sound System and Kula Shaker. Also, a ║▀█
█▀║ whole host of World Music pilferers û for instance, listen to Andy ║▀█
█▀║ WeatherallÆs first æSabres of ParadiseÆ single for unauthorised and ║▀█
█▀║ unaccredited sampling of Suns of Arqa music. ║▀█
█▀║ ║▀█
█▀║ æAlap-Joe-JhalaÆ (Arka 2102CD) was recorded in Southall, London with ║▀█
█▀║ N. Magriel on the Sarangi, Wadada on Bass and Chris Joyce on drums û ║▀█
█▀║ his last session before going on to join Simply Red. Wadada moved back ║▀█
█▀║ to Manchester, releasing a series of hard-edge Dance Singles. First ║▀█
█▀║ came æGovindaÆs DreamÆ produced with 808 StateÆs Graham Massey, ║▀█
█▀║ followed by the SunÆs very first Jungle Tune with A Guy Called Gerald. ║▀█
█▀║ All these mixes can be heard on the recently released æRemixes Vol. 2 ║▀█
█▀║ & 3' (on Hamburgs Echo Beach label 2188CD), along with some more up to ║▀█
█▀║ date Drum & Bass workouts from Zion Train, Sounds From the Ground, ║▀█
█▀║ Kopeikin, Youth and MuslimGauze. It even has the very first recording ║▀█
█▀║ of another of WadadaÆs proteges Finlay Quaye. ║▀█
█▀║ ║▀█
█▀║ Wadada could be credited with the creation of Acid Folk music for his ║▀█
█▀║ collaboration with Astralasia æSul-E-StompÆ, which can now be heard on ║▀█
█▀║ æTotal Eclipse of the SunsÆ (Arka 2108CD) along with some other ║▀█
█▀║ interesting artefacts. ║▀█
█▀║ ║▀█
█▀║ Suns of Arqa were ready to be seen and heard; the mid 90Æs saw a ║▀█
█▀║ gathering of new musicians. On highland bagpipes, John Snelson, on ║▀█
█▀║ violin the young and gifted Johar Ali from New Delhi. On vocals, ║▀█
█▀║ Angel-Eye chanting lyrics from Alice Bailey and Dion Fortune; also, ║▀█
█▀║ Indian Dhrupad singer Reba Bhaduri and Sumit Bhaduri on Pakhawaj. ║▀█
█▀║ Delroy æSticksmanÆ Walker had also arrived, from the twelve tribes HQ ║▀█
█▀║ in Manchester, taking over on drums. Playing the original reggae ║▀█
█▀║ rhythms Sticksman was also drumming on Finlay QuayesÆ debut album ║▀█
█▀║ æMaverick A-StrikeÆ. Wadada went on to produce one of the most ║▀█
█▀║ spiritually uplifting AND danceable albums of our time æShabdaÆ (Arka ║▀█
█▀║ 2109CD). ║▀█
█▀║ ║▀█
█▀║ There followed appearances on the Andy Kershaw and Mark Radcliffe ║▀█
█▀║ radio shows, TV appearances, Glastonbury, The Phoenix and ║▀█
█▀║ Trans-Musical festivals, along with extensive touring. The intensity ║▀█
█▀║ and vitality can be heard on the live album æ AnimanÆ (Arka 2110CD). ║▀█
█▀║ ║▀█
█▀║ And now, two decades on, Wadada has met his musical counterpart Laszlo ║▀█
█▀║ Hortobagyi and the Gayan Uttejak Orchestra produced at their studio in ║▀█
█▀║ Budapest, Hungary. æSuns of Arqa meet the Gayan Uttejak OrchestraÆ ║▀█
█▀║ (Arka CD22113) is an album of haunting mystery, ethereal voices and ║▀█
█▀║ contributions from John Cooper Clarke and Professor Stanley Unwin. ║▀█
█▀║ Arka Sound have also released the new album from Laszlo Hortobagyi û ║▀█
█▀║ æSongs from HungisthanÆ (Arka CD22114) and will be touring together in ║▀█
█▀║ East and west Europe early in 1999 to coincide with the release of ║▀█
█▀║ these two albums. ║▀█
█▀║ ║▀█
█▀║ As the SunÆs continue to shine, Wadada is currently working on a new ║▀█
█▀║ album æCosmic JugalbandiÆ (Arka 22115) produced by John Leckie at Real ║▀█
█▀║ World Studios in Witshire. This features his favourite band of Indian ║▀█
█▀║ Musicians û Ragunath Seth on Bamboo Flute, Johar Ali on Violin, ║▀█
█▀║ Shahbaz Hussain on Tablas and Kadir Durvesh on Shenhai. ║▀█
█▀║ ║▀█
█▀║ Wadada says: ║▀█
█▀║ ║▀█
█▀║ "It is the ultimate sound to take us through the changes to come. ║▀█
█▀║ Where sound is not just a backdrop to life but ultimately it is life ║▀█
█▀║ itself." ║▀█
