That was quit...Too bad about using the headphones. That was quite a powerful meditation when played loud, out of big speakers pointed at the soles of your feet, back in the 1970s! The musicians probably would have included Arican Gordy Ryan, who worked/works with Olatunji and other African drummers. The Arica Work was quite powerful, and not rightly classified with flaky new age trips.Skeezixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02048359176582942966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32686420.post-83004598742001414722009-11-24T11:54:43.444-08:002009-11-24T11:54:43.444-08:00Thanks for sharing this, really really, enjoying i...Thanks for sharing this, really really, enjoying it and such.

So, the current Arica web site doesn't even hint at the trippiness of the "school" in the early 70s, when these records were made. Suffice to say that Claudio Narranjo, an early researcher of native Amazonian psychoactives, was associated w/ Arica. And mad-genius director Alejandro Jodorowsky was a devotee, insisting all actors/crew his masterpiece "The Holy Mountain" first get trained up at Arica [it's one of the most mind-boggling movies ever made, so hats off to Arica!]. <br />See Wikipedia for more historical context.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32686420.post-49319082970005496532009-08-09T05:47:14.964-07:002009-08-09T05:47:14.964-07:00haven't listened to it yet but seems interesti...haven't listened to it yet but seems interesting, *despite* the new age cover :D<br /><br /><br />thanks as always!Pedro Homerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08904321572950792054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32686420.post-27229689174268778572009-08-04T19:02:26.359-07:002009-08-04T19:02:26.359-07:00thanks michael, I appreciate the support...i don&#...thanks michael, I appreciate the support...i don't see podcasts coming back as EVR is heading into a more high-profile phase and podcasting raises some legal issues...there are programs out there where you can make yr own...try wiretap...thanks for listening!Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12538012872471484797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32686420.post-68508710777084461852009-08-04T15:23:40.985-07:002009-08-04T15:23:40.985-07:00Listening to this right now.

I looked up this band on RYM and they have <a href="http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/arica" rel="nofollow">a couple other albums</a> that might be worth checking out too. Been digging the blog and radio shows for a while now. Thanks for turning me on to a lot of different stuff I didn't know about. Are podcasts ever coming back? <br /><br />-MichaelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32686420.post-90161558862494173572009-08-04T15:22:28.084-07:002009-08-04T15:22:28.084-07:00Listening to this right now.
