Monday June 04th 2012, 9:15 pmThe edges are smooth to the touch but the texture to the eye has the appearance of a fine grainy craftsmanship. Emitting mystery as it sits in front of me, set squarely on the table, it appears about two and a half inches deep. There is a burned in arcane symbol on the lid, its latch being only a simple tied black cord. It beckons to be opened, to reveal treasure awaiting thoughtful exploration. I easily pull on the cord, gently lifting the top up, and a musky earthy smell wafts upward. My pulse quickens. Inside lays a small but wide black book, the arcane symbol from the lid is repeated here on the cover. Underneath the book there is a bag with trinkets and a banner to be unfolded. The next layer down I find the another object, black and roughly the dimensions to the width of the box. Again the arcane symbol sits on top if this, I eagerly slice the shrink wrap, unfold the album, its inner cover gives a widescreen artful photograph with the subject in muted color balanced against vibrant red smoke. Sliding from the open slit on the side is a black paper sleeve, that contains the most exquisite vinyl records I think I’ve ever seen. They’re glorious to behold, alive with molten translucent red, the label black against this. It somehow emotes mysterious and powerful and dramatic. The next layer down into the wooden box there are three discs attached to the wood casing itself, two with music and the other a film, each black with additional arcane symbols, the three discs are arranged in a triangular formation, I’m sure to abstractly evoke the idea of the eye of god pyramid symbol. The culmination of these musical gems truly feels like the entire package is a genuine artifact, a box of wonders to be coveted. The title perfectly suited to the presentation, the feeling of it being a ritual to delve into.
