Know Thyself ?

by SUNS OF ARQA

Luki13 Deep Indian trip. My favourite S.o.A. album so far
Favorite track: Noor Sarang.

Veganhead So good that when it arrived in the post (next day too, nice one) I played it three times in a row. A beautiful uplifting slow dub soul dance. If you like 'Jaggernaut - Whirling Dub' you'll like this, it's like the chill out afterwards.

about

In these times of unprecedented change and impending uncertainty, Suns of Arqa bring musical solace to the people with "Know Thyself?" - a stunningly beautiful ambient album comprised of 4 rarely heard Indian ragas.

Produced by Michael Wadada, the mystical founder of Suns of Arqa, and featuring bansuri master Raghunath Seth, "Know Thyself?" instantly transports the listener into a delicate liminal realm laying somewhere between ancient India and the western worlds. Soaring on a sea of hypnotic dub grooves, Raghunath Seth’s sublime bansuri narratives reveal panoramic glimpses of timeless vistas while gently persuading the mind to let go of the mundane. The result is an uplifting, devotional and deeply meditative experience.

"Know Thyself?" picks up where their previous Interchill album, "Cosmic Jugalbandi’, left off and demonstrates yet again why Suns of Arqa have remained one of the longest-standing pioneers of the world-fusion genre. This creative offering from Wadada is an authentic interweaving of east and west and is well-deserving of a place in anyone’s music collection. Warm, relaxed and trance-inducing, the music of Suns of Arqa invites you into the spaces within silence to know thyself.

Magical and timeless all the way through. Favorite track would be The Aubergine of the Sun, except there's that part in the middle of Adrift where you start listening as a human and end up a one-eyed snail scrunching reality up into melting origami puzzles. a
