THE MANIFESTATION

"Its basis in Indian music points to the Ravi Shankar influence that, coinciding with the proliferation of psychedelics, prompted many American and European artists to experiment with new scales, tones, and song lengths. And, in the same way that evoking medieval chant or century-old blues necessarily conjures a sort of historical exoticism, The Manifestation's success is partly due to its contextual throwback to a mysticism and wonder foreign to modern counterculture".
