Liner Notes |
This album is dedicated to the earth people who are unusual because
they have begun to pause, look back, and wonder where they have come from
and why, and where they are going to!
The earth is a living thing just as we are and has a soul as we do.
You look at the heavens through a telescope. Reverse the telescope and you
have a microscope through which (if powerful enough), you would see almost
the same sight. (Electrons in orbit around their stars.) "In my father's house
there are many mansions" (The Bible).
We are most probably existing on a molecule inside the material of, perhaps,
a living thing in the next size up.
The rocket ship shape of churches probably dates back to Moses' visit to speak
to God on the mountain and what he saw there.

Notes |
Michael Raphael, a central heating salesman from Sheffield, England, saw himself
as the reincarnated Egyptian God Ramases and came to Stockport with his wife, Sel
(sometimes referred to as Selket or Seleka), to record this album at Strawberry
Studios with the members of 10cc (before they were officially formed as such) as the
backup band. Times on the original album differed. The times shown above are
from the CD re-release.
