EAC Rip | FLAC (tracks+.cue+log) - 497 MB | MP3 CBR 320 kbps (LAME 3.93) - 194 MB | Covers (6 MB) included
Genre: Dub, Downtempo, World | RAR 3% Rec. | Label: Arka Sound (ARKA 2109CD)

Suns of Arqa have materialised as a musical collective, combining the ancient Hindustani raga systems with Piobaireachd and Nyabinghi roots drumming. They appear intermittently at the seasonal festivals and sacred ritual spaces, where they are a vehicle for the positive raising of vibration, connecting with both the sensory and infinite worlds, for the on going evolution of all sentient beings.
Opening with the wonderful psychedelia of Lennon & McCartney's "Tomorrow Never Knows", "Shabda" by Suns Of Arqa moves through the familiar territories of dub, ragas and world music in a conscious and direct manner. Tracks 2 and 3 build up the hypnotic tension before "Through The Gate We Go" drops into some heavy 90s breakbeat dub. "Pure Reality" features all star reggae heads Country Ranking and Sticks, collaborating on an avant-dub hybrid complete with rocksteady vocals before "The Great Invocation" drops into a heart-on-its-sleeve dancefloor workout. Reba Bhuduri contributes two great Indian flavoured jams, "Basant Alap" and "Basant Dhrupad" before the latter section of the CD ascends into the carnival, pipe-led free party romp that Arqa are famous for. Another solid addition to the collection - definitely more dance floor led rather than for horizontal contemplation.
