The Seventh Earth Connection:
The Iron Mountain continues the thematic
thread to the albums. 'Pteranodon' laid a ground for this
with a general backdrop of pre-history with a bit of mythology.
Anaxagoras began to focus on ancient Greece, early philosophy
and science and celestial bodies, which is where the sequence
of the albums begins to overlay onto pre-historic continent
movement and the themes of Earth formation - the Mediterranean
being the 'tear' in the early African rock plate. The Iron
Mountain continues in a more physical and tangeable way this
theme of celestial bodies and meteorites, especially the subject
of large impacts on the Earth ( see: Luna
). The territory of each subsequent piece of work focuses
on areas of the oldest Earth's crust which were once joined
and part of the same original rock shield, i.e. Greenland
and Northern Africa - which I have re-structured differently
to the conventional plate-tectonic model. The albums develop
along this theme of musically and thematically linking the
pattern of my revised continent breakup and earthquake paths.
