   About Secret Archives of the Vatican


Secret Archives of the Vatican is a small, mobile, intelligent collective of musicians. They mix breakbeats, dub, Arabian and Indian flavours, conscious lyrics, funky riddims and more to create their own unique sound. We don't know what to call this music....maybe Orientalist Dub or Transglobal Breakbeat Dub Science or sumthin' like that.....


SAotV has released many private recordings over the years and several tunes have been placed on compilations in Europe and the USA. In June 2008 they released Babylon Halt, a 13 track CD album.

The band is powered by chickpeas.

Check out more mp3s of Secret Archives tunes on the Broken Drum Records website: www.brokendrumrecords.com There are also some mp3s by Uncle Riotous, a great links page, up to date news, band biogs and more. It's worth checking out - go on! You know you want to! Do it! Do it now!
