According to Homer's "Odyssey" the nymph Calypso, who resided in the island of Ogygia, put a spell on the sailor Odysseus who shipwrecked on the island when on his way to Ithaca.
After being abducted for 10 years he was freed from the psychedelic state of the love spell.
Calypso died of grief when Odysseus sailed back to his wife Penelope.

This compilation is a musical representation of the myth. An ode to passion and psychedelia.

Musically speaking the compilation is a flow of evocative sounds ranging from fourth world, new age, psych-rock, dark ambient, techno, dub & electronica that provide an epic wholeness to the concept.

The tape’s artwork is an abstracted portrayal of Odysseus, encapsulating a gloomy, dream-like state of mind prevailing when under a spell of seduction. He is as the island beneath his feet, surrounded by emptiness of the sea, trapped with nowhere to go.

I take this love For a poison I softly dissolve it, In an ocean of drink The way you get rid Of a bottle of poison In the open sea [over the side of a ship] The waves below are untroubled The poison is freed From the terrible weight Of being a poison How can you leave this isle For the wretched seas That have been so cruel That have taken so much Who are you to recant paradise For the grim, misery of man Forsake gold, for the dirt and filth, of another shore The past is a rotting corpse, the future a burial mound The present is ever-lasting for you are becoming a god You are passing through the veil of mortal man Swaying like a golden shuttle, upon the loom of eternity, Who can ever really go home? Achilles, grasping fame in his dead hands Agamemnon, returning to betrayl and blood Who can ever really go home? Who can ever really go home? I can hear her whisper under the oceans cruel waves Come back to Ogygia my beloved Come back to Ceuta my beloved
