A Brief History of SOA is a retrospective compilation album, featuring
tracks from all the releases prior to signing a major deal with EMI
records. It serves as a brilliant introduction to SUNS OF ARQA, or
simply a good way to plug those holes in your SOA collection. This album
reflects very well the diversity of SUNS OF ARQA’S music, and
emphasises that their commitment to style and spirituality has been
there from the start.
Unpredictable to the end A Brief History’ begins with two tracks, which
have been changing people’s musical perspectives around the globe, a
superb blend of Indian melodies, dub reggae bass line and sheer dance
power. Featuring N.MAGRIEL, mastering India’s most exotic bowed
instrument the Sarangi ‘voice of a hundred colours’, with its 35
sympathetic strings. On drums sees the return of their original
sticksman CHRIS JOYCE, back after many years in purgatory with Simply
Red. With impressive dub mixes from the likes of YOUTH and ADRIAN
SHERWOOD make this essential listening.
Introducing many of the artists who have recorded with the SUNS’ over
their epic musical career, including the mighty powerful vocals of
PRINCE FAR-I, from a long deleted 12”single, and the closing song from
his last live show. SANYOGITA KUMARI’s ethereal vocals on the YAM YAM
mix of Govinda’s Dream. The ancient dhrupad lyrics from Indian classical
artist REBA BHADURI and the awesome heavy dub bass from leading light
WADADA. This is a ‘must have’ CD for any collection.
Enjoy!
