│ 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 ... │
│ │
│ Keep the spirit! │

│ ┌─────────────────────────────[ ReleaseNotes ]───────────────────────────┐ │
│ : : │
│ "I am often telling my artist friends," writes the Dalai Lama, "that │
│ through my lectures I may reach a few thousand or maximum a hundred │
│ thousand people. But artists through music, painting or sculpture │
│ whether it is a constructive message or a destructive message can │
│ reach millions. Therefore artists can promote peace, love, compassion │
│ and harmony..." │
│ │
│ Which thus explains why His Holiness chose to lend his voice to this │
│ decidedly constructive project navigated by Toshinori Kondo and Bill │
│ Laswell in what, on paper at least, looks like one of the unlikeliest │
│ releases of the millennium so far. │
│ │
│ The three eponymous expositions by the Dalai Lama are rendered in │
│ short snippets among Kondo's emotive trumpet and Bill loping │
│ bass'n'beat loops. Kondo taped the interviews in Bangalore, India, in │
│ a manner that brings out the sonority and sheer humanity of this wise │
│ and gentle man's speech. Only thirty-five minutes, but thirty-five │
│ richly rewarding ones, and not just philosophically. │
│ │
│ Somehow the texts merge harmoniously with Kondo's trumpet, whether │
│ electronically tweaked or full and bell-like, while Laswell makes the │
│ space surrounding them expand and pulsate, once even to a subtle │
│ reggae beat. │
│ │
│ After sharing a good laugh at the end of the third track, neither │
│ Kondo nor the Dalai Lama appear on the fourth, which may or may not be │
│ called "Music". Instead, 'Charged' collaborator Eraldo Bernocchi takes │
│ over on guitars and electronics, overseeing a long, translucent │
│ ambient denouement featuring Laswell and "seven Tibetan monks" on │
│ bells, horns, vocals and drums. │
│ │
│ What might have resulted in a mere curio in less capable hands is │
│ instead the best spoken-word album since Laswell's collaboration with │
│ William Burroughs, 'Seven Souls'. │
