Holy Magick opens with a fantastic trippy Jam, "Meditation". A 23-minute insane song, full of references to the 'Dark Side', and with some very good instrumental lines. The female-vocals, are particularly interesting, and so is trying to understand the weird words he is singing. The saxophone has some great lines, the organ work is also very cool. "Return Of Arthur" has a strong blues sonority, with Joe Cocker-like vocals and an astonishing guitar solo.
In the beginning it may sound weird and unpleasant, but it will turn into a very enjoyable listen, after the first minute. "The Magician", again with some blasting saxophone work, this song is full of energy and power, probably due to the bass line. The screaming vocals, by Bond, are the cherry at the top of the cake. "The Judgement" is completely different from the other songs, calm, without any sort of insane instrumental solo. The back-vocals are pretty good on this one, sounding as if they were answering the lead-vocals.
The cover-art was photographed in Stonehenge, featuring Graham Bond and his wife, performing a strange ritual. This LP was not well received by either the or the record buying public and was soon deleted.
