With such a Massive Repertoire of Music, hasn't Megalithic Portal ever thought of starting an Internet Radio Station?
The OBOD used to have a Radio Station called Radio Druid but that is gone now and I have known a few other Paganistic Internet Radio Stations but they all did not last much more than 3 or so years.

Hello David, I have thought about it, it's a lot to do. A radio show also but again that's a big commitment. Perhaps one day.
I have though created a couple of Spotify playlists with tracks from this thread:

Here's a warning to all those who expose their children to ley lines and dowsing as they grow up - they may end up composing wild and wonky music!
Apparently his lifelong fascination with world- and character-building can be traced back to his unique upbringing: in a town with neolithic monuments close by, little access to modern things (“there were barely four channels on TV because half the hill blocked the aerial’s reception”), and parents who were into dowsing (“all the neo-pagan druid vibes; they were definitely part of that whole cosmic West Country scene growing up”).

Kavus Torabi hails from Knifeworld, Cardiacs and Gong and is co-creator with Steve Davis of the long running radio show, band and now book (signed copies still available).
Anyway he gets an entry here for calling his studio, Skyhenge - "basically an elaborate soundproofed shed in my garden" according to Kavus.

Each year Adrian Bell does a summer solstice themed radio show and this year is no exception
Featuring tracks by Solstice, Roy Harper, Nik Turner, Destructor de Formas, Mr. Bungle and more.
He also commemorates the "Battle Of The Beanfield", 36 years ago this year, one of the notorious instances of police brutality in the 1980s, along the lines of Orgreave and Wapping, but less known about.

Dreamtime Return (1988) is a double album by the American ambient musician Steve Roach, based on Australian Aboriginal culture and the concept of the Dreamtime. It has been described as one of the pivotal works of ambient music.
Roach’s travels in the Australian outback, along with studies of the Aboriginal Dreamtime, and his desert walkabouts in California were the lifeblood for this recording which even today sounds like a transmission from the near future and the very distant past.
The booklet contains photos of aboriginal rock art.

Lyrics for verse 2:
What's wrong
They'll probably dig it up a thousand years from now
And how
They'll probably wonder what the hell we used it for
And more
This must be the cup the king held every night
As he cried

A bit of a musical parody of life at the Portal. Between several threads such as "The Ritual Use of Plants", "The destruction of Stonehenge" and lots of metrological hypotheses such as my post on Unhenged's thread referring to "A Family Affair", then Sly & The Family Stone's track,
A Family Affair, from the album "There's A Riot Going On" sort of covers it! Blimey even the fox from Gobekli Tepe is there:
Next - Xochimoki channel Aztec mythology in 1980 LP Temple Of The New Sun
Summoning “feathered gods and animal spirits … folktales of celestial glory and supernatural dread.”
Xochimoki’s 1980s album Temple Of The New Sun is being released on vinyl for the first time, via Phantom Limb this October.
Formed of Aztec wisdom keeper Mazatl Galindo and American ethnomusicologist Jim Berenholz, the duo first began playing together in 1984. They went on to self-release two cassettes, as well as record several soundtrack pieces.
Recorded in New Mexico during the mid ’80s, Temple Of The New Sun saw the pair working with vocal chants, flutes, animal hide drums, Hopi bullroarers, and panpipes.
In doing so, they “summon feathered gods and animal spirits. They incant mythological folktales of celestial glory and supernatural dread.”

yes indeed David, I haven’t found anyone better than Peter Pringle for ancient music reproduction. I don’t know why he is not more well known. I loved his Sumerian lyre piece and included it in my ‘music though time’ mix
The Romans don't get such a look in on this thread so how about the only song (as far as I can tell) with 'hypocaust' in the lyrics - That Black Bat Licorice by Jack Black

My feet are burning like a Roman hypocaust
But the Romans are gone, they changed their name because they lost

In the NME July 1982 Bill Drummond (who was manager of Echo and the Bunnymen) claimed that the band's 'Tour of the Northern Hemisphere' was following ley lines in the shape of a bunny head via Denmark, Iceland and finished handlily enough at the Albert Hall. Drummond later admitted to making it all up. He equates where a band ends up playing says a lot about their outlook. It ends with the Bunnymen going for a moonlit drive where they end up lying down in the peat at a stone circle after one of their gigs.
