Ramases - Space Hymns

Husband and wife duo, he was a part-time central-heating installer and then full-time musician... from wiki:

'...The Frosts relocated to Sheffield in 1966 and remodeled their home in a Roman style. Barrington shaved his head and began dressing eccentrically in silk robes. In 1968, the story goes, during a drive to visit a client he was visited by the Egyptian Pharaoh Ramesses who told him he was the Pharaoh's reincarnation, and he must take up the Pharaoh's message in a musical career.'

Album cover is amazing too.

……… is that a tongue in cheek story or did he really believe that?

Tbh I don't know, could be Sun Ra inspired mythmaking, could be that he believed it. The music is good tho.

I was literally just about to post one of his songs and saw this at the top of my feed.

I believe it's the first cover ever painted by Roger Dean, more famous for doing all of Yes's album art.

I ADORE ROGER DEAN!
