If there ever had to be a list of the most eclectic musicians/rock groups, then Ramases would be a definite contender. Very little is known about this enigmatic person, and very little in terms of music was ever produced. However, his two albums, especially the first one, have built up a form of cult following within progressive rock circles.

First things first, anyone who likes the more ‘folk’ drenched albums associated with the former World Serpent related groups-e.g. Current 93, Orchis etc., or any people seduced by older albums by the likes of Dr.Strangely Strange, Incredible String Band, Comus etc., then you would probably take to this, although, it doesn’t necessarily sound the same as any of those names mentioned, but you could maybe relate to it.

Housed in a lavish fold-out album sleeve with a remarkable Roger Dean painting depicting a rocket bursting up into the night sky, this would catch many a person’s eye in the early 1970s, especially when you opened out the full package and see that the ‘rocket’ is in fact a church steeple which has launched upwards being disengaged from the building!

A friend of mine bought this album on the strength of the cover alone, a few years after it’s initial release.
