A bit of a forgotten band, sometimes known for having pre-10cc members in it. They are pretty unique though, even though Space Hymns is a little low rated on this site. What do you think?

Space Hymns is maybe the best 10 CC album that never wore its name

Glass Top Coffin is a very different beast but has its own charm

Never thought I'd see a Ramases thread.  Go figure.
 
These reviews are pretty old but then again so are the albums so que sera.  Anyway, weirdly interesting guy that could have only existed in the 70s.  Wish I could have met him.  Last I heard Sel was still alive but something of a recluse.

I recall hearing Space Hymns about 15 years ago....on original vinyl. My friend Tom had left a large stack of vinyl in my keeping until he was ready to move. I played that and several other things (Heldon, Fireballet, Gilgamesh...etc..) I had never heard of before but I don't recall it making much of an impression upon me. I 'll revisit it via you tube.

I thought this band was made up of two kooks. I'll have to check them out!
