Hobbitozz ... A Land That Never Was

by REPTIEL

supported by

John Mentzer This album is an adventure! Love at first listen and many a spin since then. (Own it on CD too!) Now I know nobody willingly listens to anything suggested to them... Why, if we'd like something Amazon or Netflix would have told us so already... but just listen! My music hostages came away with great big smiles! It ain't some cynical, smirky, eye rolling, half hearted piece of post modern parody fodder... No way! Hobbitozz is the real deal, and that means pure fun! Favorite track: Ecstasy in Shadow Green.

about

"Hobbitozz ... A Land That Never Was" is a psychedelic prog rock fairy tale that takes place in a fantasy world somewhere between Middle Earth and the Land of Oz and relates the story of Forest Boy who awakens one morning to hear a bird singing to him that he must bury his father who has died in the night and begin a journey through the sylvan landscape of Hobbitozz to confront the roots of its demise and discover his destiny.

REPTIEL's "Hobbitozz ... A Land That Never Was" is the first in a multi-part series of psychedelic sci-fi/fantasy rock albums that take place in a fictional universe conceived by REPTIEL and inspired by Celtic mythology, English and American folklore, fantasy and science fiction, pagan and occult rituals, and REPTIEL's own "ceremonial musick" sessions in which they claim to communicate with Plantae, Earth and dark matter.
