"Speak Thou, whose massey strength and stature scorn
The power of years – pre-eminent, and placed
Apart to overlook the circle vast –
Speak, Giant Mother!"
William Wordsworth
"Mother of fertility, on whose breast lieth water, whose cheek
is caressed by air, and in whose heart is the sun’s fire, womb of all
life, recurring grace of seasons, answer favourably the prayer…"
Magick in Theory and Practice
Aleister Crowley
lyrics
(i) From the Scented Wildwoods
At the flowering of spring,
The sabbat round he entered,
The youthful one, lusting free -
The embodiment of instinct,
In tune with sweet Nature,
The Light of the greenwood eaves.
Beth-Luis-Nion! (Birch, Rowan, Ash!)
Uath, mo chroidh! (Hawthorn, my heart!)
Thus, spoke the goddess,
Whence light equals darkness;
The seed within her growing…
And though their coupling complete,
The hunter horned he remained,
The scented wildwoods roaming…
The fires of Beltaine, the marriage fires,
Blazed across the land;
The clinnad sang the Horned forth,
To take his chosen bride,
To celebrate his antlered youth,
The lover for the May Queen,
To be the father for the child within,
The rosiest bud in the green.
Beth-Luis-Nion!
Uath, mo chroidh!

Liverpool (UK) based prog rock trio.
A rich blending of powerful evocations through progressive and Celtic metal, gripping rock anthems and hauntingly acoustic refrains, rich with storytelling imagery, myth and sacred geometry....more

Whilst delivering well crafted music, unless you focus on the lyrics, you could miss the story lines. This is the last of the war trilogy, so subtle ,but so poignant. Superb music with broken road and Holding On ,on permanent repeat. Listen and become enthralled. Top quality song writing and musicianship.10/10

F2G reminds on Riversea, Mystery or Gilmour leaded PF, melancholic (neo-)prog. Although it's no music for happy days it's beautiful music in it's own kind. prog-rocks

Krautrock collides with psych on this rip-roaring EP from El Universo, which pits jagged guitars against lockstep rhythms. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 11, 2021

As with previous releases this is a solid album from start to finish which continues the storyline, themes and signatures perfectly.
'Enigma' and 'Another Same' are on par with or superior to many commercial offerings by established prog artists.
The Waters, Wilson and Hayward influences shine through once more but I also hear song writing very much in the style of Difford and Tilbrook, 'Trough of War' & 'Another Same' probably being the best examples.
These chaps are the real deal!
