The everlasting wheel keeps turning. A resounding note to awaken a root that lies dormant in a clod of earth.
A haunting voice from ancestors who speak through song. Rekindle the spirit of ancient voices.
The drone is like an iron rod that strikes the earth and vibrates to the pulse, deep within the earth beneath. Tap the drone and you sample the rhythm of the universe and watch as melody sways like the branches of the Yew.
Then you know The Horses of the Gods have begun to sound.

John Barleycorn Reborn: Dark BritannicaTerrascope by Jeff Penczak
It’s perfectly clear that these musicians take their work very seriously, starting with Wiltshire’s own Horses of The Gods (Mike Ballard and Matty Bane) and their earthy, acoustic interpretation of the set’s namesake. If you only know Traffic’s version, this one will surprise you, as the fairly sparse arrangement seems bettter suited to relating the story than Traffic’s (admitedly transcendent) psychedelic, electric version.
