Psychick Warriors Ov Gaia is a group of techno music producers from the Netherlands. It is also known as Thee Disciples Ov Gaia, one of its members was affiliated to Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth.
The group released a number of records and CDs on the Belgian KK Records in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
The Psychick Warriors Ov Gaia are currently Reinier Brekelmans, Joris Hilckmann and Tim Freeman (who is their ever present soundman). Previously Bobby Reiner was in the band but he was not present in the most recent release, "Record of Breaks." The band is from Holland on a Belgian label, KK Records. I understand Robert Heynen left the band to form a new band called Exquisite Corpse, also on the KK label. Around 1985 the original lineup were in an industrial band called The Infants. After this they went onto form Sluagh Ghairm which means "spirits cry" and lasted for two years.
In case you're wondering about the "psychick cross" logo they use, the references to the number 23 or the way they spell things on some of the earlier releases, they are not associated with the band Psychic TV. They were however associated with the Temple Ov Psychick Youth (TOPY) as they were probably memebers of this magickal/occult secret society. If that means nothing to you, then just know that they are "sound crafters" instead of musicians for ritual purposes.

P.W.O.G. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break,
When The Levee Breaks I'll have no place to stay.
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan,
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan,
Got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home,
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Don't they make you feel bad
When you're tryin' to find your way home,
You don't know which way to go
If you're goin' down South
Then there's no work to do,
And you're going on to Chicago.
Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good,
Ooh, cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good,
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move.
All last night sat on the levee and moaned,
All last night sat on the levee and moaned,
I said left my baby and my happy home.
Going, go'n' to Chicago,
Go'n' to Chicago,
Sorry but I can't take you.
Going down, going down now, going down.
Don't they make you feel bad
When you're tryin' to find your way home,
You don't know which way to go
If you're goin' down South
Then there's no work to do,
And you're going on to Chicago.
To Chicago
Going down, going down, going down
"P.W.O.G" stands for "Probablement Weehawken On Guitare," a band made up of French musicians. The lyrics of the song "When The Levee Breaks" revolve around the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927, which occurred in the southern United States. The song talks about the fear of the levee breaking due to excessive rainfall, leaving no place to stay for people in the area.
The song starts with the ominous warning, "If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break," repeated twice, giving the listener the feeling of the impending disaster. The vocalist then talks about how the levee made him feel emotional, "Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan." The song then talks about how the flood has affected the lives of the people, leaving them with no work in the south and forced to move to Chicago for employment.
The lyrics convey a sense of hopelessness and despair, as crying and praying won't help when the levee breaks, and one must move to survive. The last part of the song repeats that there is "no work to do" if you go down south, and the singer is "going down" to Chicago, apologizing to his loved one that he cannot take them with him.

4ème commentaire et 67ème pouce pour moi !
ça me fait drôle de réentendre cet album car c'est quand même toute une époque ; je possède l'album en digipack ainsi que le 1er : "Ov biospheres and sacred grooves"
C'est ce style-là que je qualifie d'intemporel !
Ah, les années 90... on se focalise trop sur les 80's en oubliant souvent à quel point la décennie suivante fut bonne sinon mieux.
