about

Newton's Translation of the Emerald Tablet:
It is true without lying, certain and most true.
That which is Below is like that which is Above
and that which is Above is like that which is Below to do the miracles of the Only Thing.
And as all things have been and arose from One by the mediation of One, so all things have their birth
from this One Thing by adaptation.
The Sun is its father; the Moon its mother; the Wind hath carried it in its belly; the Earth is its nurse.
The father of all perfection in the whole world is here.
Its force or power is entire if it be converted into Earth. Separate the Earth from the Fire,
the subtle from the gross, sweetly with great industry.
It ascends from the Earth to the Heavens and again it descends to the Earth and receives the force
of things superior and inferior.
By this means you shall have the glory of the whole world and thereby all obscurity shall fly from you.
Its force is above all force, for it vanquishes every subtle thing and penetrates every solid thing.
So was the world created.
From this are and do come admirable adaptations, whereof the process is here in this.
Hence am I called Hermes Trismegistus, having the three parts of the philosophy of the whole world.
That which I have said of the operation of the Sun is accomplished and ended.

lyrics

A Spirit wanders in the Skies Above
It makes all illuminate Below
It lights the candles of my wandering soul
Unveiling mysteries untold

I share my Prophecies unto a world that I forsake

If our Creator had a Masterplan
He’d guide us gently through the Land
And show us Secrets yet unknown to Man
Mysteries to understand

I share my prophecies unto a world that I forsake
Retrieve my Legacy out of this dream you will awake
Ancient philosophy, guided by the Snake
Astray theology, into a last mistake

Very dark and melancholic and also a progressive album. Beat and atmosphere remind me strongly of TOOL. Stephan

The flac version of this sounds great in my truck... not a crunch, clip or boom to be heard. That, in itself, gets this major points. This is a lovely combination of early Floyd, U2 and a few San Francisco bands from the '60s with a heavy dose of Helmet tossed in. It's definitely best of breed when it comes to modern psych stuff. Even without a Hammond B3, it gets an easy A+... rick-taylor

For some reason, what I previewed and the real songs was somewhat different - maybe because of the cover art? But I definitely don't regret something more spacial than expected. The recent Ocean drifting in space. frankwurst
