Album description

www.ralphbuckley.com

Typhon...The trickster.....(whom we all know personally) coaxed me into into climbing into the most beautiful wooden box that I had ever laid eyes on (the body).
As soon as I lay inside....he quickly shut the lid and sent me down the river of time.
Eventually I drowned, but as time passed my seed was again planted in the earth...and I came alive again to try to remember the secret to escaping from the box.

There is another legend in which Typhon/Set murdered me, and tore my body apart into 14 pieces.
Then the Great Mother, went in search of my body.
Eventually, after searching the earth.....she found me.
She soon re-membered me....and with the help of Thoth ‘the moon god’, refashioned my phallus which had been lost. After we had laid together again. Isis ‘the Queen of Heaven’ gave birth to Horus the Sun.
For I was no longer of this world.
I was the god of the netherworld.
The place of death and regeneration.

We will meet again someday.
When it is time to leave the temple.

I love and have great interest in art and I live for and am constantly surprised by the concept of Magick, so I was naturally drawn to this latest release by Ralph Buckley. The album's evocative title immediately forms connections with listeners who haven't even downloaded it yet.

With such a powerful title I expected something completely different to what I found my ears wrapped around, yet therein lies one of the secrets of magick: that paths open up before you that you never knew were there, and lead you to amazing places.

From the very first conga tap of the opening track a vibe is set, of luscious valleys of soft vocals, strong undercurrents of molten guitar lines, and gorgeously shaped bass clouds, all set to the grandfather clock tick of the simple yet outstanding percussion. One only needs to close their eyes and drift on the vibe and this album performs its Magick.

Journeying into frantic hunts through the forest side-by-side with howling wolves, taking hot air balloon rides over velvet seas of emotions, caressing the heavens at points and burrowing into the depths of hell at others, this amazing release that talks of The End, of The Tree of Life and of Awakening will strike a chord deep within that few musicians can evoke, but that Ralph Buckley manages to pull off with both outstanding finesse and a deep respect for and understanding of the nature of the Universe.
