Jaggernaut is the seventh studio album by the band Suns of Arqa, released in 1989 by Antler/Subway Records.[1][2] The album was produced by Suns of Arqa founder Michael Wadada.[3]
Although the album has never been released on CD, it was remixed by Youth, Greg Hunter and Astralasia in 1992[4] and released on CD under the new title 'Jaggernaut Whirling Dub'.[5]
The original Jaggernaut LP is in four parts. Side A contains the first two, which are based on ragas Bhairavi & Bhupali, and Side B contains interpretations of ragas Yaman Kalyam & Misra Pahvadi.[6]
These would later become some of the most often remixed Suns of Arqa tracks, as remixes of the album produced not only Jaggernaut Whirling Dub,[7] but also 'Cradle' (1992)[8] and a further remix album of 'Cradle' in 2002.[9] The B-Sides of a later single 'Erasmus Meets The Earthling'[10] were three tracks remixed from Jaggernaut Whirling Dub, entitled "Whirling Dub", "Whirling Full" and "Whirling Forest".[11]
And these re-remixes were themselves remixed further... "Whirling Dub" was yet again remixed by Bryn Jones for Musilimgauze[12] and "Whirling Forest" was remixed for the album 'Technomor' in the late 1990s![13]
