dharmalogos Psychedelic, stoner, hard rock with excellent songwriting. Varied dynamics. thoughtful lyrics, outstanding musicianship. Lot of variety on this album. Not so heavy, more laid back and moody. I love everything about it. Favorite track: Imprisoned for Sorcery (the Thoughts of Hew Draper).

Bucky Wizards About by About Wizards is an enjoyable and impressive session of music. The album transitions from Black Sabbath grooves one minute to spaced out psychedelic stoner rock the next. It’s hard to believe it’s just one guy and it works. Well done Rich, Rich done well.

Black obelisk floating in the sky Casts a shadow across the countryside Nobody knows from where it came or why It just hangs there While fighter jets buzz past It makes no noise No response to the questions asked Black obelisk knifes the passing clouds Fires warm the camps of pilgrims on the ground It does nothing Been that way for months The nukes are ready In the event it attacks us They wonder what to do For now...now there are two More keep appearing One every 90 days or so In ten years its predicted The Earth will be surrounded

They give you candy They come from afar They smile as they pass by In flying red cars Mom, who are these strangers? Hush, child, don't you talk Just do as they say now Look down as they walk by

Pick up your sword Throw down your plow The world is changing It's changing now And so it went The herald's cry The morning broke As the warnings flew by The guard gathered at the valley On the safe fell of the dale They lined up in their farmer's clothes And what armour they could avail The fear they felt was waning fast Resolve welling in their hearts When in the gap their foes appear It was time for war to start Blood spilled upon the hills The shock of bone and blade Great deeds were done that day And many widows made From the North Black witches come And from the East Our enemy's sons No time to waste Yes, it's all true They're coming for me they're coming for you The earth trembled from the fighting The valley filled with smoke and ash The dark host started to withdraw That's when the wizards clashed A black witch started chanting Against the guard she cast her spell Confusion set in amongst the men Their real foes they could not tell Blood spilled upon the hills The shock of bone and blade Great deeds were done that day And many widows made Grab your swords Defend the town Kill the bastards Take their generals down Be keen in judgement Swift with your blade You must rise up If we're to be saved It was a living nightmare The spell having been cast Friend killing friend At this rate they won't last As those who were watching Threw their hands to the sky There was a brilliant flash of light That blinded everyone's eyes Throw down your sword And take a breath The battle's over You cheated death Behold the fields Where bodies lay Mark the vision Remember this day

I am a traveler In space and time I go out and in Real and imagined If you have questions I will not answer If you have answers I will not ask I see, I see Call me what you will I'm free, I'm free Roll me down the hill I walk this road I have no horse Just my two feet I go in peace I see, I see Call me what you will I'm free, I'm free Roll me down the hill You can drag me away I will not change I'm the universe This a cosmic play I see, I see Call me what you will I'm free, I'm free Roll me down the hill I'll carve a message In this stone wall I'll leave you wondering Where I have gone I see, I see Call me what you will I'm free, I'm free Roll me down the hill I see, I see Call me what you will I'm free, I'm free Roll me down the hill

I've been away For so damn long I'm starting to feel the strain Extended mission Beyond the lines I don't know if I like being away From Home I can't wait to go home mmm Home oooo will you remember my face and know my name They sold it well And I believed them A once in a lifetime view I'm here alone The stars don't blink All I have are the worms to talk to 'bout Home I can't wait to go home mmm Home oooo I can rememeber your tender lips and the way you squeezed me tight When duty calls I'm protecting this zone But for this solider There is no place like home Got a picture Of me and you Right here inside my coat A perfect shot Can not compare To the memory of your sweet smell There're many nights When the sky is clear I don't know if I'm hallucinating But the shadows Bounced off the moon Look like you when you're slow dancing Back home I can't wait to go home mmm Home oooo is it true that you were pregnant and the little boy is mine So there it is I just can't help it The questions keep going through my mind Is he healthy? Who does he look like? I hope it's you and I can't wait to see him smile When I'm home I can't wait to go home mmm Home oooo We'll get married when I return and we'll start a brand new life When duty calls I'm protecting this zone But for this solider there is no place like home Not much longer

I've come to reveal What you should know After eight thousand years Of freedom to grow What have you done Since time was renewed? With the gifts you received? The wisdom in you? All that I see Beguiler man-kings Ignoring their hearts And the ancient warnings I've come to destroy All that you've made It's black and corrupted None will be saved I am the Great Destroyer I don't care if you fall It was your sin that called me Say goodbye to it all There are other dimensions There are other worlds There are other beings None you've observed But they've acted upon you And some have steered you right But there are demons who whisper And feed on your light And you've given in to them Believed in their lies Feeding the parasite While the good in you dies I am the Great Destroyer I don't care if you fall It was your sin that called me Say goodbye to it all

about

This music was created to be enjoyed in a comfortable chair settled by a warm fire with your favorite brew, hot or cold, and a bowl full of the sweetest pipe weed the Shire provides.

Wizards About features a pastiche of heavy psychedelic musical impressions, variations in modern stoner rock and a sober ode to the lonely lives of deployed soldiers.
