That's already the second album of Ragana - trance, meditative dub played by the best polish reggae musicians, full of surround reverbs and delays. Their debut, released over one year go by british Universal Egg had worldwide impact.
- That was very surprising for us - says Tomasz Krawczyk, bass player and leader of the band - We wanted to make dub album using our own music recipes. We didn't expect, that it will be finally available in shops in Japan or that we gonna see our clip in brazilian MTV. Surely it gave us lots of self-confidence when recording second album.
Album was mixed, as the previous one by famous Activator Mario Dziurex and Jarek "Smoku" Smak in their Studio AS One.
- EMT, AMS Neve, Korg SDD 1000, KORG Kaoss - Mario Activator lists equipment used in this mix. - We're pretty proud of the final sound. It's ruff and solid with riddim section on the front line.
Album is titled "A Long Delay Ago". It's released by Karrot Kommando, label specialised in alternative music. From 1st of March 2010 you can find it in every good shop in Poland or buy MP3 or FLAC files on www.karrot.pl
- Lyrics have variety of topics. As a first it's the album about love, this is the main message - says Jahga, band's vocalist - her voice is one of the most recognizable sign of the band. In Poland she's known of playing in Lion Vibrations. Foreign listeners will recognize her soon on Adrian Sherwood's new album. - Love wins every time, no matter whether it's mature or young and naive - she explains - In our music and lyrics spiritual message is to be found. Clean and straight intention to the real "inside" of every man. Inspiration comes from the roots.
