One of my attempts to do 1970s-sounding rock. In that regard I think it worked fairly well, though the fact that it was done 8-track and I ran out of tracks for overdubbing the vocals feels a little obvious at times.
Still, it has a rather nice melody and some of the production techniques worked pretty well, I think.
lyrics
The Tome of Demonography
I tried to find, in my mind
Ways to learn, how to earn power untold
What's this? It cannot be!
Is it real, or is it me?
A whole world for us to see
The Tome of Demonography
I'll try tonight, Mystic Rite
Unseen Truth, Eternal Youth, set me free
What's this? It cannot be!
Is it real, or is it me?
A whole world for us to see
The Tome of Demonography
I didn't know I didn't think
I didn't guess that I'd be
Running for my life every step of the way
What you can't feel will never heal
Will never quite be cured
But lurks there in your soul
For the rest of your days.
What's this? It cannot be!
Is it real, or is it me?
A whole world for us to see
The Tome of Demonography

"There is lambswool under my naked feet..." - those words always come to my mind while listening to the first bars of "Wide Of The Mark". There's undoubtedly quite some "Genesis" heritage to be found in the music on this album. However, the band that is most closely related to "The ID" is certainly "IQ", which is among the favorite bands and artists named by both Peter Albrektsen (gtr, kbd) and Tim Pepper (v, kbd). So the similarity of the names "ID" vs. "IQ" is obviously not purely coincidental. Being a long-time admirer of the creative output of "IQ", this album inevitably reaches my heart. Sven B.
