Now August 29, allegedly.

Well, at least the release date is now being brought forward!

I'll do some Googling to see if I can find some further info...

"Double CD - Produced by WADADA and the Reverse Brothers
Tracks 1 to 12 mixed by the Reverse Brothers
Recorded Mumbai + New Delhi + Thessaloniki

Raghunath Seth - Bansuri
Wadada - Bass Guitar Johar Ali - Violin
Reverse Brothers - Keyboards + Programming"

Info at the Suns Of Arqa homepage, but no mention of what tracks 13 onwards are...

The CD is delayed. This is due to the pressing plant burning down! Well that's one we haven't had before. Apparently people who pre-ordered directly from the SOA site (not updated) are being offered CD-Rs (no jokes about burning please) for the time being. More news when I get it.

The CD-R burning isn't happening, so we'll just have to wait and see. Shame they don't update their website. Go Govinda go!

Well, the Massey mix (and the Orb mix) is definitely going to be on the new album but, as Markus has mentioned, it will be delayed because of the pressing plant problems!

If I get sent anything else, I'll keep you updated!

Delayed until the end of November. Thanks for the intel agent Nick.

And also probably not being released on the Dragonfly/Butterfly label...

Arrived this morning.

Suns Of Arqa meets The Reverse Brothers - Hallucinasia
(UK - ARKA SOUND; ARKA CD 33125)

includes

15:53 Raga Raghunath (mixed by Graham Massey)

So, you get over 15 minutes of a Graham Massey remix - not bad!

Warning ,its more like indian music than dance music, i was on an ambient tip with this

Post by **markus** » 03 Jan 2006 16:11

Nothing wrong with that Graham

Does anyone know where the original version of this track appears? I always like to hear an original version too, to compare it to the re-working.

graham · Post by **graham** » 03 Jan 2006 16:46

theres no origenal version as far as i know,what mick does is goes and collects perfomances in india ,often to click tracks (this one had a tabla machine which i kept in,its like a raregroove indian drum machine with tabla and drone settings) then he passes tapes around for years ,till something happens. ive dug out the Em&M spectral synth out on this one.anyone seen them live? theyre often on at glastonbury.
Eric Random possably had something to do with them at one time I could be wrong,Ive been listening to the Eric Random Comp on LTM.He was an early electronic guy from MCR on New Hormones if you like early Caberet Voltaire you might like this ,its primative industrial, If you look at the indian music lesson photo on this site,hes the one that looks a bit like Prince.
We all used to have Indian music lessons from the guy in the picture.Manikrau Popatkar.

Fascinating stuff. This is the picture Graham is referring to:
