Editorial Reviews

Reissue featuring two solo LPs by this British Invasion r&b great who headed the band The Graham Bond Organization, the group Jack Bruce & Ginger Baker played in before forming Cream with Eric Clapton. Both 1971's Holy Magick' & 1974's 'We Put Our Magick On You' were originally released on Mercury. As the album titles suggest, the lyrical themes on the records revolve around Bond's fascination with the occult, and the western practice of magick in specific. 1999 release. Standard jewel case.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Return Of the Wizard!, January 11, 2000

Graham Bond died in May of 1974 and it seemed the world of music forgot about one of the most interesting and legendary artists to come out of the early 60's music scene. Graham was multi-talented, mastering the alto sax, piano and the organ. His vocals and phrasing are truely one of a kind. Graham experimented with various forms of R & B but these particular albums are totally spiritual and mystical. Check out "The Magician" , "Moving Towards the Light" and "Time to Die". Some of the most moving pieces of music I've ever heard. Graham was experimeting with a form of new age music long before anyone had ever even tried to. If only "Love is the Law", another one of Graham's albums could be released then I can finally have a chance to blend all these great works together and be very happy.

3.0 out of 5 stars The lyrics ruin it, but the music is excellent!, May 19, 2003

This is unquestionably some of the coolest and most original music that I've ever heard in my life. (So original, in fact, that I can't think of anything comparable - except to say that it's jazz-fusion-rock with a heavy emphasis on the jazz element...steps beyond The Graham Bond Organization.) At times this music is breathtaking. As for the lyrics, though, as one can tell from the song titles, yes, they're rather occult/new age-oriented...and...well...one often wishes that these were instrumental albums!

I do have to agree with the one reviewer and say that "Moving Towards the Light" and "Time to Die" are incredible works!
