My favourite band, Art Zoyd have an album called Le Mariage du Ciel et de l'Enfer. It's the score for a ballet based on William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell.
Love those David Axelrod albums by the way. Edited by Logan - February 16 2016 at 15:00 |

Tim Blake's New Jerusalem is based on the same William Blake poem, And did those feet in ancient time, that was adapted in Sir Hubert Parry's anthem Jerusalem, the one covered by ELP.

Visionary by Gordon Giltrap is a beautiful interpretation of some of Blake's work.
Also, Grave New World's album cover is a painting by Blake (alternatively known as Albion Rose or Glad Day)

Today I heard BBC radio 4 roll out their usual nonsense regarding Progressive rock.. The subject was the influence that the poetry and art of William Blake has had on 'rock music'.. some nondescript talking head from the music media was rolled out to discuss Bob Dylan, Patty Smith and the Libertines.. and Led Zeppelin did get a mention. No mention of the doubtless and deep influence the art and poetry of Blake has had on Progressive Rock.. there are the very obvious such as 'Jerusalem' by ELP and 'Tyger' by Tangerine Dream but lets hear it for one of Albion's most visionary poets of all time and how his progressive art, poetry and politics have influenced great music of the 60's 70's and beyond.. To start, his concept of 'Albion', an alternative England (and/or state of mind) is reflected in Roy Harpers 'One of those days in England'.. Any others??
