The name Nommos is on everyone's lips lately... Finally, their world debut album is here ! The Nommos are Ariane Macavoy (France / India) and Goa Gil (USA / India). Back in 1996, their first track "Po Tolo" ('We have watched the skies and waited!') was released on several compilations, including 'Destination Israel' (BNE). Their next release, 'Amma', was a big hit in 1997 and was included on Mark Allen's Return To The Source mix 'Shamanic Trance'. In 1998, The Nommos stroke again, this time with 'Djembe', which got a worldwide exposure and was included on Goa Gil's mix 'Forest Of The Saints' (Avatar). 'Here He Comes' was the first breed from the new album 'Digitaria' and appears on Goa Gil's latest mix 'Towards The One' (Avatar). 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, Gil met Ariane in India. They have been together constantly ever since. Ariane being an African dance instructor and her keen interest in African Djembe drumming and West-African traditional dance has significant influence on their musical collaboration. Their rich psychedelic history the 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 them for years. 'Digitaria' is a tribal trance dance album, that 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.
