Absolute Elsewhere - In Search Of Ancient Gods (UK)
Absolute Elsewhere – In Search of Ancient Gods (1976) is a fascinating prog-rock concept album inspired by Erich von Däniken’s ancient astronaut theories. With clear nods to Pink Floyd and Mike Oldfield, it blends cosmic synth textures, fluid guitar work, and atmospheric arrangements into a cinematic soundscape. Mostly instrumental, it conjures images of alien landscapes and mysterious civilizations. While some sections drift into aimlessness, the musicianship and thematic cohesion make it a hidden gem for fans of ambitious, spacey 70s prog.
