Rls Notes
Lamp Of The Universe is a solo project from Craig Williamson of New Zealand.
Lamp of the Universe is a gorgeously lulling cosmic trip into a paisley coloured
psychedelic land of celestial ragas from Williamson's guitars, sitar, synths,
and tablas. We're talking track titles like "Lotus Of A Thousand Petals" and
"Tantra Asana". Believe me, these describe the music on The Cosmic Union perfectly.
Lightly strumming acoustic guitars and sitars drift throughout as the tablas and
other percussion keep a simple but effective psychedelic pace. Williamson's vocals
are equally light and drifting making for the perfect marriage with his music.
Lots of beautifully meandering jams that will open your mind for exploring the
alternate realms that you travel with Williamson to. There are aggressive moments
too, particularly on "In The Mystic Light" which sounds like a jam off Amon Dti
album. And love that organ and shimmering guitar on "Freedom In Your Mind".
New reissue CD on Astral Projection includes a bonus track "By the grace of love"
not on the original release, but recorded around the same time.
