Celtic Cross is a saga created by Simon Posford of Hallucinogen together with Saul Davis and Martin Glover. Saul Davis is known from James, and his work with Mark Hunter on Watershed. Martin Glover from The Orb arrives this project after previous work with Blue Pearl, Adam Ant and Ben Watkins. This collaboration was produced by Youth and Simon Posford. Hicksville' is a wonderful journey through electronic music. If you like Shpongle, you ought to listen to this album as well. The album gets its grip with its ethnic direction and Celtic ambiance. The mysterious atmosphere plays a role here, like on the fantastic Jade Garden' and Khatmandu', one of the peaks of the album. The wand of Simon Posford is felt throughout the production. I stumbled upon the philosopher's stone. I had the veil of illusion pulled back & was confronted by the many levels of energy & many realms of consciousness which are available to men. I opened a pandora box of multiple realities. This is one of the quotes here by Timothy Leary and the American avant-garde novelist William S. Burroughs. Celtic Cross was defined as "distinctly atmospehric, a journey of enlightenmeant, the definitive navigational map for inner and outer cosmic exploration" In order to appreciate this CD, you ought to listen in a high quality sound system - maximum pleasure guaranteed..! 'Oh my god, are we EVER in Hicksville' ..
