Track listing B-side: Return Of Arthur (Graham Bond)/ The Magician (Graham Bond)/ The Judgement. (Diane Stewart)/ My Archangel Mikael (Diane Stewart). There are no running time indications The Vertigo logo on front is orange. Side A lacks composer credits on both the label and the cover. As these tracks are not composed anyway, we do not really mind. The label doesn't even carry the titles of the A-side! Matrix number A-side: 6360021 1Y//1 ?420 1 1 Matrix number B-side: 6360018 2Y//3 ?420 1 1 5 Rarity scale: R1 Holy shit! Just read some of the liner notes: This record is dedicated to the true seekers of light or even worse: Side two consists of shorter numbers all of which have a purpose... And all the while you're listening to some of the most uninspired records ever to hit Vertigo vinyl. Allegedly this music builds an ''astral temple'' around you. Probably this is cleansing through suffering, then, as it is very hard to even sit through the whole of side A, even with some knitting to do. It's just an endless doodling devoid of any structure. Side B is marginally better: almost acceptable blues-rock. As useless as it gets... Naturally the cover depicts Stonehenge, including some figures in ritual poses.. The lettering is common ground, but even so by far the best feature of this album. Inside you'll find a hodge-podge of Egyptian fake, tarot symbols and general occultism. Which was to be expected.
