RITUAL GROOVE – Soundtrack to a movie not yet made
Donovan’s new work is also an invite for his fans and film-makers to make the movie to his “soundtrack release“. He says: “I love film and my songs are weekly requested by filmmakers all over the world. Many of my songs I consider to be mini-movies in themselves. Directors find my work “filmic“. This is why I invite young film-makers to create the visuals for this soundtrack of mine for my new musical movie called RITUAL GROOVE.
DONOVAN ECO-POET
The iconic Sixties poet-songwriter continues his Eco-Planet theme on RITUAL GROOVE, a theme which he pioneered in The Sixties. He recently received a “Doctor of Letters“ for his poetry and his Ecological work.
To be clear not all the tracks on RITUAL GROOVE are directly Eco-Themed but the poetic statements in this gorgeously designed Double CD Deluxe package announce Donovan’s continued praise of The Goddess Movement, and “Aphrodite“ herself appears prominent in all the art-work and in his poetry.
“The Goddess speaks through me again and calls for the Return of Her Rituals in her Honor to respect Her Garden of Splendour, the planet we call home“. Were this to come from any other than Donovan, one might think this artist has lost his “blue-marbles“. But Donovan has been consistent in his support of Green Organisations and he alone wrote what can only be described as the first Eco-Songs before any other of his contemporaries in The Sixties. Indeed his recent release of his SEVENTIES COLLECTION proves this.
“I feel that only an ‘Archaic Respect‘ for the living planet can save the ecosystem, hence my call for the praise of The Goddess and the return of Her Rituals. I feel that mere laws to punish polluters will not be as successful as celebrating the great wheel of the seasons and the gifts of Mother Nature. And I am The Shaman to do it “.
