Remarks:

Was going to be released in June via the LSD / Dragonfly label (Youth's label) as a double-cd, featuring The Orb, Youth, Tripswitch, Kuba, and Drum Druids. Pressing Plant problems (it apparently burnt down!) prevented that, so Suns Of Arqa decided to release this on their own label instead at the end of November 2005.

Graham Massey: "There's no original version, as far as Iknow. What Mick does is goes and collects perfomances in India, often to click tracks (this one had a Tabla machine which I kept in - it's like a rare groove Indian drum machine with tabla and drone settings), then he passes tapes around for years, till something happens. I've dug out the Em&M spectral synth out on this one. Anyone seen them live? They're often on at Glastonbury.

Eric Random possibly had something to do with them at one time I could be wrong. I've been listening to the Eric Random Comp on LTM. He was an early electronic guy from MCR on New Hormones - if you like early Cabaret Voltaire you might like this. It's primitive industrial.

We all used to have Indian music lessons from the guy in the picture - Manikrau Popatkar."
