Arica was a meditation group from New York City who recorded two albums of improvisational music. The first self-titled album was released in 1971 and the second called "Heaven" which the two tracks posted above are from, was released in 1972. I've read that they were pretty serious practitioners of several mystical traditions. It wasn't just a bunch of ritzy people trying to pay for enlightenment. I'm not sure how music related into their religious practice, if it was an aspect of their rituals, an integral element of their practice, or if it was an extra circular activity outside of their religious domain.
