Paul Horn – Inside The Great Pyramid (1977)

I learned about this record whilst listening to one of Christopher Dunn’s talks on the great pyramid being a power plant. I can’t recall the exact point he was making, but it was about the resonant properties of the granite within the pyramid’s King’s Chamber. Now, I’m not really in-tune with these new age types, but the pyramids fascinate me, so I gave this ago.

It’s a good idea. Live recordings from inside one of humanity’s oldest and mysterious structures? Top stuff. In delivery however, the record is disjointed. We get short flute passages that go absolutely nowhere. How you would meditate to these is anyone’s guess. Also, a double album is far, far too long.

Unless you are interested in the more “out there” ancient history stuff or the great pyramid in general, I wouldn’t bother with this one.
