        I've listened to this album maybe a 100 times by now and still have no idea what genre of music I'm listening to. Absolutely stunning in it's invention, it almost makes me weep that a record of this originality is not more well known. I'll take a stab at categorizing it and say its the greatest art rock album ever made. Wonderful stuff

          unbelievable - this is average pop band, lately known as 10cc.

            Genuinely an amazing album, I've sat at my computer desk having discovered this just an hour ago in a daze. The Vertigo label is a treasure trove for unique and powerful music

            Favorite Track: Molecular Delusions

                It was reported by many reviewers and re-issue liner note writers that Ramases’ real name was Martin Raphael.

                However in May 2012, Dorothy, better known to Ramases fans as Sel (or Selket), advised that her late husband, Ramases (real name Barrington Frost) and Martin Raphael were not the same person.

                "I would like to clear up the confusion between Ramases (Barrington Frost), born in Sheffield, and Martin Raphael who played the sitar on Space Hymns. I do not know where he was born or where he lived. I wish to confirm that Ramases and Martin Raphael were not the same person. I do not know how this misunderstanding has come about. I would be interested to hear any comments. Love and light from Selket." (Dorothy Frost, wife of Ramases)
