Album Notes & Community Reviews
Serving as a musical companion to Erich von D盲niken's speculative book 'Chariots of the Gods', this conceptual project explores space rock and electronic soundscapes. Helmed by Paul Fishman, the instrumental album effectively utilizes early synthesizers and features notable guitar contributions from King Crimson's Bill Bruford. It is an incredibly atmospheric, sci-fi driven curiosity of mid-70s progressive rock.
