The Pentateuch of the Cosmogony
This is the original 1979 EMI double album (hardback book form) in fantastic condition - both the vinyl and book.
Conceived, written and illustrated by fantasy artist Patrick Woodroffe, with electronic/synth music written and performed by Dave Greenslade. The title means, approximately, 'the first five books (pentateuch) of the creation (cosmogony)'.
The story and artwork tells the story of the discovery of an abandoned spacecraft in orbit around Jupiter, and the project to decipher the ideograms in the pentateuch 'document' discovered within. Most of the book is a retelling of the document, in much the same way as a modern translator might retell the contents of a Babylonian tablet or Egyptian papyrus scroll. Particularly remarkable is the combinatorial ideographic script created by Woodroffe and used throughout the artwork.
This is a collectors piece for both fans of Patrick Woodroffe's art and synth music fans.
