The
Nommos started back in 1996 with their first release "Po Tolo" ('We
have watched the skies and waited!') that came out on BNE.
'Amma'
was the followup, featured on the 'Burning Man mix by Goa Gil and
Mark Allen's 'Return to the Source' mix. The track was well accepted
and widely played all over... 'Djembe' was their 3rd single,
released on Avatar (Forest Of The Saints) and licensed for Asia by
Sony Music.
The Nommos are Ariane (France / India) and Goa Gil
(USA / India).
Gil and Ariane are former members of Kode IV. Gil
is one of the first trance DJs and dominator of the Goa trance
scene. In 1985 the two have met in India and have been together
constantly ever since.
The two being professional Djembe drummers
and Ariane being an African dance instructor and her keen interest
in West-African traditional dance, has significant influence on
their musical collaboration.
Their rich psychedelic history for
many years of involvement in tribal cultures, music and dance, have
made their house in Goa a center of pilgrimage for many people from
around the world including the local and international media who
have been following this respected duo for years. Their debut
album 'Digitaria' has managed to grab attention and interest from
multiple directions and is much appreciated by music
conuassers.
'Digitaria' was picked up by EMI and released in
South East Asia and is available for the first time even in places
like Kathmandu...
The album was actually recorded in several
locations around the world while The Nommos were on tour.
The
Nommos are known to create the most cutting edge music to come out
of The USA and are the trail blazers of this new style of music that
represents the darker side of uncompromising Psychedelic
Trance.
Their exciting debut album enables us to take a closer
look into the mysterious world of The Nommos. The story of The
Nommos has been passed on for generations. An ancient advanced
civilization, amphibian intelligent beings who carry the visual
appearance similar to a fish. The ark of The Nommos, who came from
the star Serious B (8.6 light years from earth), it is said to have
landed on earth north east of the Dogon country.
