Release Notes:
Re-issue of the third Lamp of the Universe album
from 2005.
Over an hour of uninterrupted sonic bliss,
constructed in Hamilton, New Zealand, though the
places it describes and evokes along the way are
not on any known maps. Indian drone, ethereal
wordless spirit vocals, sighing sitars brush the
surface of the lake, the water is deep and wide but
so clear you can see to the bottom hundreds of feet
below. Great distance and moody majesty; at around
the fifth track it sounds like Popol Vuh on some
sort of godlike visionary sedatives. One man sonic
universe or lamp thereof Craig Williamson employs:
electric guitar, bass guitar, drums, tablas,
choir-like layers of voice, sitar, bowed guitar &
sitar, tamboura, tapes, rain pipe, effects, and
keyboards to weave the single piece that is Heru.
Though it is discreetly divided into seven tracks
(Heru parts 1-7) , they all flow into one another
so as not to interupt the dream or the dreamer
