   About The Horses of the Gods

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.

Reviews

John Barleycorn Reborn: Dark Britannica

Terrascope 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.

I belief in
artgeneering...

the artist is only a medium,connected to the spirits around him-

translating vibes into symbolic shapes to reinitialize the ancient way
of using language...

the way of light and color...

without the disguise of words,right through the passage of our eyes...

to reach hearts and souls without taking the intelectual loop way...

natural formulas in an unnatural world...pure and uncensored...

awakening the visiual awareness, the centre of our inner universe...

to let it shine in the way it has allways been before these annoying
times,

that keep us away from our natural mission...

to stay connected with our great mother earth and her deep spirit of
freedom and peace...

we have to regain our nearly lost nativeness,

to stop this wheel of opression and iniquity that haunts our world and
our hearts...it's time for the rainbow warriors :-)

You tube video link: reStart Again Feat. Onna


Coil me up inside,
Slow the sands of time,
Reaching out and then,
Feel the Cosmos End,
Surf the winds of change,
Freindship never ends,
The circle remains unbroken,
Weight of words unspoken,
Burden of your sight,
Watching wings take flight,
Of this time transcend,
Lets Restart again,
Lets Restart again

There's a bustle in the hedgerow ... and a full moon on the rise.
Come to the meadow and dance with me ... under fiery Autumn skies...
