UtopiaXO

UtopiaXOUtopiaXO, and their first album, The Light, is the most perfect manifestation of that magical English summer vibe. It’s like Brian Eno’s understated but powerful musical statements met the intellectual prowess of Philip Glass, the pagan overtones of Goldfrapp, the poetic melodic genius of Elgar, the early idealistic convictions of Mike Oldfield, along with the English eccentric nature of the early Pink Floyd and the organic electronica of The Future Sound of London. It’s the perfect electronica, ambient & new age album all wrapped into one without that weak non-existent musical voice that much ambient music possess. It’s the most exciting thing to happen within the genre for the last decade.

This music is produced on the st michaels ley line at hope bagot, site of the st michaels holy well and world famous 1700 year old ancient Yew tree & is inspired by the natural surroundings and positive energy given off by the ley lines

The Yew tree is older than Jesus Christ, It was worshipped thousands of years ago by pagans until William the conqueror came to england and seen paganism as a threat and introduced christianity to england.

He gradually wiped out paganism and built a church next to all the old worship sites (which at the time were Yew trees). The church at hope bagot still stands today, its a tiny little building, but you can feel the history as soon as you walk through the door.

The Yew tree itself is spectacular, you have to see it to really take it in.

The studio is situated about 50 yards away from the site
