album info
The Kumbha Mela is a gathering of Sadhus,
Yogis,
Wandering Ascteers and Holy Men that converge
on
the River Ganges in India in their millions.
They
come to give puja and bathe in her sacred
waters.
This happens every four years, with a larger
gathering every twelve years and every sixty
four
years an even more massive one occurs. The one
in
January/February was such a one. The idea to
link
up to this Mela came from a New Zealand film
maker,
Andrew, who was making a film on the Ganges
called
"Holywater" and wanted to commission a
piece of
music for it. This rapidly developed into an
album
with a special live link up to the Mela from
our
studios in South London via internet provided
by
Timmy B of Dreadzone and International psychic
Uri
Geller. On February 26th, the Suns of Arqa's
Indian
Backline, Various Dreads, Sadhus, even a Druid
and
assorted engineers, friends and filmcrew tuned
in
to the greatest gathering of Humans in the
history
of the world switched on and played for three
hours
straight. When the internet broke we got on
the
phone and when the phone stopped we went inside
our
minds and hearts. It was an amazing experience;
the
vibe was electric.
The result was the album 'East of the River
Ganges', metamorphosed from those original
sessions
and countless other heated all-nighters over
six
months.
