Enoch I​-​III

Enoch, the seventh patriarch in the Book of Genesis, was the subject of abundant apocryphal literature, especially during the Hellenistic period of Judaism (3rd century BC to 3rd century AD). At first revered only for his piety, he was later believed to be the recipient of secret knowledge from God. This portrait of Enoch as visionary was influenced by the Babylonian tradition of the 7th antediluvian king, Enmenduranna, who was linked to the sun god and received divine revelations. The story of Enoch reflects many such features of the Babylonian myth. Relish in the epic synth portrait of Enoch, sky-faring prophet of the apocrypha in 5 glorious, flavorful movements. Follow the musical tale of Enoch as he ascends from wandering holy man to cosmic force of mystery and allure. Sonically musing and ruminant, a yearning impression becomes powerful, transcendent--even imposing in its latter minutes--before dissolving peaceably into the sublime.
