 █▀░░    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 ...   ░░▀█
 █▀░░░                                                                        ░░░▀█

 █▀║   On Hear No Evil, Bill Laswell attempts to fuse his love of Eastern       ║▀█
 █▀║   musical forms and textures with the tonality and sensibility of the      ║▀█
 █▀║   Western world. The result is a harmonious though rather benign           ║▀█
 █▀║   combination, with much of the trappings of new age music. The album      ║▀█
 █▀║   title can be taken at face value; there is no danger in sight. Mostly,   ║▀█
 █▀║   the instrumentalists mesh perfectly in a pastoral blend that never       ║▀█
 █▀║   drifts far from its harmonic center. Percussionists Zakir Hussain        ║▀█
 █▀║   (tabla) and Aiyb Dieng (talking drums) produce the bulk of the rhythm    ║▀█
 █▀║   and guitarist Nick Skopelitis and violinist Shankar weave pleasant,      ║▀█
 █▀║   droning melodies around Laswell's rubbery bass playing. The only         ║▀█
 █▀║   discord comes with "Assassin," an ineffective attempt at dark,           ║▀█
 █▀║   throbbing funk. Still, the track serves as a good model for Laswell's    ║▀█
 █▀║   approach. In this case, the West wins. Skopelitis delivers some banal    ║▀█
 █▀║   rock licks over a beat that's not nearly as heavy as it might aspire     ║▀█
 █▀║   to be. A mixture of tabla and talking drums makes its way into the       ║▀█
 █▀║   music's pauses, providing an Eastern undercurrent, and Shankar lends a   ║▀█
 █▀║   wordless vocal to the texture. The most successful track is the          ║▀█
 █▀║   closing "Kingdom Come." The introduction highlights the group's          ║▀█
 █▀║   percussion trio; Hussain is even allowed a captivating tabla solo,       ║▀█
 █▀║   approaching his instrument like a drum kit. For once, the musicians      ║▀█
 █▀║   are allowed some room to roam, and they delve into the beginnings of     ║▀█
 █▀║   an engaging, improvised dialogue. While the fusion elements present on   ║▀█
 █▀║   Hear No Evil may have seemed groundbreaking during the late '80s, the    ║▀█
 █▀║   passing of time has not been so kind. Laswell's compositions take few    ║▀█
 █▀║   risks, requiring the instrumentalists to pull more of the weight but,    ║▀█
 █▀║   unfortunately, they remain too subdued.                                  ║▀█
 █▀║                                                                            ║▀█

 █▀║                                                                            ║▀█
 █▀║   A longtime linchpin of the New York City underground music scene, Bill   ║▀█
 █▀║   Laswell was among the most prolific artists in contemporary music; as    ║▀█
 █▀║   a performer, producer and label chief, his imprint is on literally       ║▀█
 █▀║   hundreds of albums, the majority of them characterized by a signature    ║▀█
 █▀║   sound fusing the energy of punk with the bone-rattling rhythms of        ║▀█
 █▀║   funk. Born on February 12, 1955 in Salem, Illinois, he initially         ║▀█
 █▀║   played guitar, but soon switched to bass; raised primarily in the        ║▀█
 █▀║   Detroit area, he honed his skills in local funk outfits before           ║▀█
 █▀║   relocating to New York in 1978. There Laswell formed Material, an        ║▀█
 █▀║   outlet for his experimental approach towards sounds ranging from jazz    ║▀█
 █▀║   to hip-hop to worldbeat; originally the back-up unit for Daevid Allen,   ║▀█
 █▀║   the group soon began working on its own, issuing its debut EP            ║▀█
 █▀║   Temporary Music in 1979.                                                 ║▀█
 █▀║   In addition to fronting Material, Laswell also mounted a solo career,    ║▀█
 █▀║   issuing Baselines in 1982 on Celluloid, a label he partly owned and      ║▀█
 █▀║   operated. Appearances on key recordings from the likes of David Byrne,   ║▀█
 █▀║   John Zorn, Fred Frith and the Golden Palominos established Laswell as    ║▀█
 █▀║   a virtual nexus of the downtown NYC community, and in 1983 he broke      ║▀█
 █▀║   into the mainstream with his production work on Herbie Hancock's smash   ║▀█
 █▀║   "Rockit," which he also co-wrote; the follow-up LP, Sound-System, won    ║▀█
 █▀║   him a Grammy. Throughout the mid-'80s Laswell was everywhere, playing    ║▀█
 █▀║   bass on LPs from artists including Mick Jagger, Peter Gabriel, Yoko      ║▀█
 █▀║   Ono and Laurie Anderson; he also joined the avant group Curlew, and      ║▀█
 █▀║   produced a number of African acts.                                       ║▀█
 █▀║                                                                            ║▀█
 █▀║   In 1986, Laswell joined guitarist Sonny Sharrock, drummer Ronald         ║▀█
 █▀║   Shannon Jackson and saxophonist Peter Brotzmann in the group Last        ║▀█
 █▀║   Exit; a second solo LP, Hear No Evil, appeared two years later, and      ║▀█
 █▀║   after a long hiatus he also resurrected Material in 1989 with Seven      ║▀█
 █▀║   Souls. Another project, the hip-hop-flavored Praxis, was resumed after   ║▀█
 █▀║   close to a decade of inactivity with 1992's Transmutation (Mutatis       ║▀█
 █▀║   Mutandis). In 1990, Laswell formed another label, Axiom, to explore      ║▀█
 █▀║   his interest in the new sounds of ambient and techno; where in the       ║▀█
 █▀║   past his work rarely appeared solely under his own name, by the middle   ║▀█
 █▀║   of the decade he was issuing several solo records annually in a wide     ║▀█
 █▀║   range of styles from dub to jazz. He also remained among the most        ║▀█
 █▀║   prolific producers in the business, collaborating with the likes of      ║▀█
 █▀║   Dub Syndicate, Pete Namlook, Buckethead and DJ Spooky.                   ║▀█
 █▀║                                                                            ║▀█
