The blending of acoustic and electric guitars, mellotrons, drones, the subcontinental instrumentation, banjo and Williamson's wispy vocals as presented on Acid Mantra means that the shroom-worship has taken on new dimensions previously unknown to Lamp of the Universe. Lamp of the Universe (aka Craig Williamson) creates an early 70's styled psychedelic eastern hippy acid folk music for the body mind and spirit. 2009 sees Lamp of the Universe in its 10th year, begining in 1999, and Acid Mantra is his 7th album overall.
