The Arzachel arise from the reunion of Uriel, a cover band active in '68.
After returning within the initial core by Steve Hillage, they changed the name to Arzachel (named after a crater on the moon) and they recorded the self-titled LP in '69. Also (due to problems with record companies etc etc) the musicians took the names invented:
Sasparella Simon (Steve Hillage) lead guitar and vocals
Njerogi Gategaka (Mont Campbell) - rhythm guitar and backing vocals
Basil Dowling (Clive Brooks) - drums
Sam Lee-Uff (Dave Stewart) - organ
"Arzachel" was recorded and mixed in a single session in London. The "A" side of the LP includes 4 songs, while the "B" side consists of a single track psychedelic divided into two suites, the longest of which is a 17-minute jam on "metempsychosis".
