Secret Archives of the Vatican have been making their own distinctive brand of what they call ‘transglobal breakbeat dub science’ for a few years now, more recently introducing dubstep and glitchy electronica influences to the mix. They are a small collective, based across the UK but with main recording facilities in Croydon, South London. They’ve played live at various festivals in the UK and in Morocco and have contributed tracks to several compilations worldwide. They have released two CD albums, Reformation (1998) and Babylon Halt (2008) and one download only album, Remembering Machine (2009). They released three free EPs, The Glidepath EP, Wisdom Truth and Dreams and Visions in 2010. They released a full length album, Barbary Lion, in 2011 and a five track album, Panjandrum, in 2012. All their releases are now offered on a name-your-own-price basis, which can include free.
